148 House Democrats vote against bill to deport migrants who assault police
2024-05-16
[FoxNews] House passes Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act.
A nice gesture that made the Democrats and wobbly others take a position on something voters care about, but it won’t get anywhere in the Senate. Still, All they have to do is submit it exactly as written, should the new Senate be controlled by the Republicans.
A bill aimed at booting illegal immigrants out of the U.S. if they assault a police officer passed the House of Representatives on Wednesday evening.

It's one of several pieces of legislation that House Republican leaders are putting up for a vote this week as part of National Police Week.

The bill passed with a 265 to 148 vote, with 54 Democrats voting with the GOP.

The bill is called the Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act and is led by Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J.

He said in February when the bill was being introduced, "There is no reason that an illegal alien who attacks our law enforcement should remain in our country; that shows zero respect for our rule of law or our institutions, and they will not be positive contributors to society."

The bill would require illegal immigrants to be detained by federal authorities until they can be deported. It would also "create a new category for migrant inadmissibility" specifically dealing with illegal immigrants who were accused of assaulting police, Van Drew said.

The No. 3 House Republican, Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., told Fox News Digital when the bill passed, "House Democrats just voted to protect violent illegal immigrants over our brave law enforcement officers. Once again, the Democrat Party proves they are the most anti-law enforcement party in history."

It comes after several recent instances of illegal immigrants attacking police have gained national attention as the country continues to grapple with the ongoing illegal immigration crisis at the southern border.

#4  Professional courtesy. The Donk party is a criminal organization fronted by a political facade.

I'm guessing: there is an NGO specialising in facilitation of such returns.

OBTW:
Given the OPEN BORDER policy of the DC Swamp and ICE's documented failure to properly enforce the border control laws.

How long before the same A$$holes are back illegally doing it again.
