Congresswoman Nancy Mace is reintroducing legislation to deport illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes, with a House vote expected next week. The bill, titled the Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act, previously passed the House with bipartisan support last year but stalled in the then-Democrat-controlled Senate. Mace aims to expedite the bill's passage in both chambers this time around.
Notable figures like Elon Musk have endorsed the legislation, criticizing those who previously opposed it and calling for their removal from office. Republican lawmakers are prioritizing this and other border security bills as part of their agenda in the new congressional session. Additional bills addressing voter registration requirements and detainment of illegal immigrants involved in theft-related offenses are also being reintroduced.
