House Republicans have voted down an effort to block immigration enforcers from using federal resources to detain or deport U.S. citizens.

During a House Judiciary Committee meeting on Wednesday, Democrats tabled amendments to a sweeping budget bill that President Donald Trump has dubbed “one big, beautiful bill.”

One amendment introduced by Representative Pramila Jayapal, the Democrat from Washington state, sought to make clear Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) cannot detain or deport U.S. citizens under any circumstances. GOP lawmakers killed that amendment.

    You aren’t going to get this sort of s*** at the national level.

    Because people like you got everything they wanted at the national level and will fight your left and only your left to keep moving right.

      I got nothing out of this election. I’m an anarchist, kiddo. I would like to see the national republican, Democrat and especially any aspirational Vanguard parties dissolved.

      I never really advocated for a candidate either. I simply pointed out repeatedly that we would be getting either a Republican or a Democrat and we would prefer the democrat. I wasn’t wrong. Not that I care about being right. I would have loved to have been wrong. Living under a Harris Administration right now. I would gladly own up to the fact that my concerns about you all amplifying fascist and foreign propaganda. To pull Democrats down and giving the Republicans a path to Victory, was hyperbolic and uninformed. I bet you would have loved that too.

      And yet, the wildly one-sided rhetoric you amplified. Not just amplified, but childishly harassed everyone who would point out what was going to happen, and did happen. Literally convinced many Palestinians to vote for the man who told Netanyahu to “finish it”. And for every single one of them that voted for Trump there were multiple that didn’t vote at all. That’s on you and people like yourself. All the more hilarious because you voted for Harris in the end as well. After you spend all that time attacking her and demotivating people from voting for her. You were played for a complete chump. And that sucks.

      All acrimony aside. Honestly, I bet you and I agree more than we disagree. We all make mistakes. I dearly wish that Palestine had been one of the issues we had been voting on. It wasn’t, and that’s a tragedy. But the fact that you simply can’t own up to the fact that your sincere wishes for better things for Palestine. Were manipulated and used, along with the Democrats unforced errors. To cut the margins enough for trump to win. That’s the impasse here. You don’t have to acknowledge that anyone was right. Like I said, I’d gladly give up being right to be dissatisfied living under the Harris administration right now. Just acknowledge that you were used, that you’re aware you made a mistake. That going forward you won’t repeat it. If enough people like yourself did that. We might became a force to reckon with instead of a joke.

        You’re blaming me for the loss Harris earned because I dared to criticize genocide on a platform full of pro-genocide centrists. I convinced none of them, least of all you. Face it, you just can’t abide any criticism whatsoever of whichever pro-genocide party you support.

            Blame everyone but the party that spent a whole year supporting genocide and screaming abuse at anyone who disagreed with it.

                Why would I be happy? You’re getting the genocide you wanted and you’re blaming it on me.

                    I voted for harris. I voted like you wanted, you’re still getting the genocide you wanted, as trump is carrying biden’s only actual policy to completion, and you’re blaming me for getting what you wanted. The only problem you have with the genocide at the moment is who is carrying it out for you.
