HON. HENRY CUELLAR

in the house of representatives
Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the distinguished career and dedicated service of Mr. Jason P. Dragon as he retires after 27 years in law enforcement.
Mr. Dragon currently serves as the Resident Agent in Charge for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Office of Professional Responsibility in Houston, Texas, where he has led critical efforts overseeing internal investigations across a six-state region.
- to integrity, accountability, and the rule of law.
Over the course of his career, Mr. Dragon has taken on some of the most complex and demanding assignments in federal law enforcement.
in Houston, he led efforts targeting violent crime and transnational gang activity—work that earned recognition from both the Houston Police Department and HSI leadership for outstanding investigative achievement.
helping prevent criminals and suspected terrorists from entering the United States, and led rapid response efforts supporting ICE personnel and infrastructure following natural disasters.
Earlier in his career, Mr. Dragon served at HSI Headquarters here in Washington, D.C., including as a Congressional Fellow in my office, where he played a key role in the passage of the Jaime Zapata Border Enforcement Security Task Force Act, strengthening our Nation's border security framework.
his service as a Border Patrol agent and Connecticut State Trooper, Mr. Dragon's career reflects a lifelong commitment to protecting others and upholding justice.
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the 28th District of Texas, I thank Mr. Dragon for his decades of service and wish him the very best in his well-earned retirement.
