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.
Well no shit. How is this headline news? Who’s disillusioned enough to think that the Republicans wouldn’t? Republican is now just a euphemism for fascist.
Stop allowing it to be normalized or desensitized. It should be outrageous every.single.time.
This is Lemmy. Whenever someone furthers fascism it should be written off as routine, while whenever anyone acts against it we should be outraged because they didn’t wave a magic wand and solve all problems everywhere immediately.
