Every day, Democratic leaders prove their party has embraced lawlessness.
Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa sought a floor vote Wednesday on a bill that would require U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain illegal immigrants who have been charged with a violent offense, Fox News reported.
The need for such legislation has been highlighted by recent incidents such as migrants’ assault on New York police officers and the murder of college student Laken Riley at the University of Georgia, allegedly by an illegal immigrant.
Unfortunately, not everyone in the Senate saw the importance of this bill like Ernst did.
Her unanimous consent request was blocked by Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, completely halting it in its tracks.
The Republican senator fought for a vote on the bill, emphasizing the importance of protecting innocent lives from criminals who are in this country illegally.
