Today, U.S. Congressman Roger Marshall, M.D., issued a statement regarding the Supreme Court’s ruling on June Medical Services v. Russo, which struck down a Louisiana law requiring those who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals:

Earlier today, President Trump announced he would be signing an executive order suspending the issuance of certain temporary work visas through the end of the year to allow American workers the opportunity to find new employment opportunities, especially amid the rise in unemployment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Today, U.S. Congressman Roger Marshall, M.D. joined as an original cosponsor of the JUSTICE Act, the House companion to legislation introduced by Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), and sponsored by Congressman Pete Stauber (MN-08), who has over 20 years of law enforcement experience. The JUSTICE Act offers real solutions to increase transparency, accountability, and performance so our nation’s law enforcement officers are better prepared to protect and serve their communities.

"My father was the Chief of Police in El Dorado, Kansas for 25 years. Growing up, he taught us the importance of law and order. He taught us that two wrongs don’t make a right. Most importantly, he instilled in us to respect our fellow man. In the fallout that has followed the murder of George Floyd in Minnesota, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that the vast majority of men and woman in blue are respectful, well-meaning people out there doing a dangerous, and increasingly thankless job. However, we must make examples out of the bad apples. Slaps on the wrist and leaves of absence for bad officers simply won’t cut it any longer. That being said, there needs to be much more rigorous training for our police officers. Psychological and behavioral screening of officer recruits will also take more funding - not less. The idea of defunding our police is wholly absurd and I’ll oppose it."
