The Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act passed the House Wednesday in a 265-148 vote.
by RAY LEWIS | The National DeskFILE - U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., speaks at a news conference on Tuesday, Dec. 7, 2021, on Capitol Hill in Washington. Nearly 150 House Democrats voted against a bill Wednesday aimed at deporting illegal migrants who attack police officers and firefighters.
"There is no reason that an illegal alien who attacks our law enforcement should remain in our country,” Rep. Van Drew said. “That shows zero respect for our rule of law or our institutions, and they will not be positive contributors to society." “Our police put their lives on the line every day to keep our citizens safe – you do not get to break our law by crossing the border illegally, attack those whose job is to protect and defend the public, and then expect to stay in the United States,” Rep. Van Drew added. “Until our borders are closed and secured, these types of laws are necessary to protect our nation and its citizens.
