I doubt that is the part of the bill they opposed. It probably had more to do with this:randylahey wrote: ↑Wed Sep 18, 2024 8:54 pm 158 democrats voted against deporting migrant rapists and pedophiles.....
Republicans unanimously voted to deport migrant rapists and pedophiles.
How does that not get you kicked out of our country?
"H.R. 7511 would require the mandatory detention – without any possibility of bond – of any undocumented person who is merely arrested for or charged with property-related offenses, including misdemeanor shoplifting. It does not require conviction of such an offense. There is no statute of limitations, and the bill does not specify any process by which a person might contest either their immigration detention or the underlying criminal charges (if charges are even pursued). Mandatory immigration detention on the basis of a mere arrest is unprecedented, and it would invite abuses that almost certainly would disproportionately impact people of color.
We are also concerned with language in the bill that would give states standing to sue the federal government over any allegation that the federal government is improperly implementing immigration laws, such as detention and removal provisions, visa provisions, or its discretionary parole authority. This language would open the floodgates to litigation, and it would enable individual states to shape federal immigration policies."
