Republicans on the US House of Representatives’ Judiciary Committee universally voted against an amendment on Wednesday that would have prevented Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from using federal funds to detain or deport US citizens.
Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal from Washington proposed the amendment to a budget bill, which was approved in the House of Representatives on April 10. She stated that since President Donald Trump began his second term, “a troubling pattern has emerged with US citizens being detained by immigration authorities,” citing numerous examples over the past few months. Jayapal described this trend as “unconstitutional, dangerous, and fundamentally wrong.”
C/Republicans mod twisting thoughts to make this make sense as we speak.
It’s one of those things where when shit goes sideways and an opposing group calls to deport every member who voted to block citizens being deported they’ll scream “hypocrisy” never acknowledging their own fault in the matter.
Hypocrisy doesn’t bother reactionaries. On the contrary— they love showing that the rules don’t apply to them.
Their entire goal is to set themselves above the undesirables in society and get extra privileges and rights.
