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.

    I don’t think it’s about god and guns and babies anymore. I seriously think they know it’s the party of pain and they like to watch pain inflicted on others. Trump is not about god, gun, or babies. He’s just about doing whatever he wants. I think that arouses his voters.
