Republicans vote to allow deportations of US citizens

It will be challenged in the courts

Trump and his racist asskissers want only a white America.

Republicans:

They did not "vote to allow deportations of U.S. citizens". It was an amendment made by Rep. Jayapal to the Republican's reconciliation bill. All of the Democrats' amendments were voted down in committee without debate by the Republicans. It wouldn't have mattered what was in the amendments.

R4 the bigger question is, why are you a citizens being deported at all? And furthermore, why is Congress OK with it?

^ US Citizens*

r4 - The bottom line is that ICE can deport U.S. citizens, and the Republicans voted for the bill with the amendment allowing it. Take your sophistry elsewhere.

R7, the Republicans voted against Jayapal’s amendment.

Don't do it white people! You're going to be inbred!

The GOP is now a fully MAGA authoritarian cult...and they run our government.

I am desperate to remind EVERY Republican, including those now professing to see the light why I've voted and donated money like my life depended on it trying to make sure no Republican was ever elected because WE ALL KNEW this was coming!

ALL Republicans always were and are criminal, demented, anti-American SICKIES!

R1 yeah that makes me feel better

Every Republican is guilty of treason.

And they can't pretend they didn't know. They put a psychologically disturbed, morally depraved, cognitively impaired incontinent old man in charge of thousands of nuclear weapons. Every single one of them deserves to be unalibed because that's what they voted for.

google 'The Nuremberg Laws', 1935 if you wanna see what they have in store for us

The next democratic president (should there ever be one) ought to deport all of those house republicans!

When the next DOJ prosecutes this administration, they should sentence Pam Bondi and Karoline Leavitt to be sex toys at CECOT.

They would need to hire half the lawyers in this country to even get a start on it.

More Nazi behaviors . Not a surprise.

They failed to add an amendment that would have made ICE sending Americans to other countries illegal. That's not legalizing it.

Obviously, the failure to add an amendment is not appealable.

R19 -- yes, this whole thing is confusing on this thread. This is the status of the issue in Congress --

[bold]Representative Pramila Jayapal introduced an amendment to prevent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from using federal funds to detain or deport U.S. citizens. The amendment was part of a budget bill and meant to clarify that ICE cannot deport U.S. citizens under any circumstances. However, House Republicans voted against the amendment, effectively rejecting the effort to block such deportations.[/bold]

r4 and r8 are just confusing the issue.

Why r17, if they eliminate due process, you don't need lawyers anymore!

How in the hell can this even be possible? Just disgusting that they'd even contemplate it.

Exactly, r4. They didn't vote "for" anything. They voted against an amendment.

This is bad law. It is not Constitutional. it is not unusual for an elected legislative body to have a knee jerk reaction to what they think their constituents want and "do something" like pass a law that is completely wrong. And it will get challenged. But here's the kicker, our courts have often, in t he past , upheld bad laws because they were also reacting to public demand instead of the Law.
