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.

    You’re blaming me for the loss Harris earned because I dared to criticize genocide on a platform full of pro-genocide centrists. I convinced none of them, least of all you. Face it, you just can’t abide any criticism whatsoever of whichever pro-genocide party you support.
