               HONORING BREVARD COUNTY SHERIFF WAYNE IVEY

  (Mr. HARIDOPOLOS asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HARIDOPOLOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today and extend my gratitude to 
Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey and the dedicated men and women of 
the sheriff's department for their unwavering commitment to protecting 
our community.
  Just last week, I had the opportunity to sit down with Sheriff Ivey 
and actually go on a ride-along and see the challenges they face each 
and every day. That day, deputies actually arrested a man who was found 
to be in possession of enough fentanyl to kill 20,000 people.
  This dangerous reality that our law enforcement officers confront 
every day is due to the failures of the prior administration to secure 
our border. The deadly impact of fentanyl has devastated communities 
across America,

and strong action must be taken to end this crisis.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Sheriff Ivey and the brave men and women of the 
Brevard County Sheriff's Office for this opportunity to see firsthand 
the challenges they face, and I will continue to stand with law 
enforcement as we fight to keep our communities safe.
