House Republicans have voted down an effort to block immigration enforcers from using federal resources to detain or deport U.S. citizens.

During a House Judiciary Committee meeting on Wednesday, Democrats tabled amendments to a sweeping budget bill that President Donald Trump has dubbed “one big, beautiful bill.”

One amendment introduced by Representative Pramila Jayapal, the Democrat from Washington state, sought to make clear Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) cannot detain or deport U.S. citizens under any circumstances. GOP lawmakers killed that amendment.

      Blame everyone but the party that spent a whole year supporting genocide and screaming abuse at anyone who disagreed with it.

          Why would I be happy? You’re getting the genocide you wanted and you’re blaming it on me.

              I voted for harris. I voted like you wanted, you’re still getting the genocide you wanted, as trump is carrying biden’s only actual policy to completion, and you’re blaming me for getting what you wanted. The only problem you have with the genocide at the moment is who is carrying it out for you.
