One Democratic lawmaker called the situation "bats**t crazy."

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’ll never see you breathe a word of unprompted criticism for the biden administration or for netanyahu and his genocide. Ever.

    Then you’ve not actually read much of what I’ve posted. That’s on you.

    Bullshit. Anything that wasn’t vociferous support for the bidenyahu genocide was helping trump, according to people who were fine with trump winning as long as it meant their precious genocide continued unabated.

    Not at all. But I expect childish bad faith responses from you. Seriously all you had to say was “yeah things got out of hand, I made a mistake attacking everyone who disagreed with me. And let myself be manipulated by my emotions” and I would have been like I think we can all understand and relate to that respect, out. Instead I’m going to have to keep calling you out as the childish hypocrite you are. Something I would rather not do. But there’s no choice.
