Today, the U.S. House of Representatives approved the Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act. This legislation aims to make illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes or domestic violence offenses inadmissible and deportable from the United States.

U.S. Representative Randy Feenstra, a Republican from Hull, supported the bill. He stated, "Due to President Biden’s open-border policies, innocent Americans have been needlessly victimized by illegal immigrants, suffering sex crimes and domestic violence. That’s why I voted for legislation to ensure that any illegal immigrant who commits a sex crime or domestic violence offense is swiftly detained and deported."

Rep. Feenstra emphasized that with unified Republican leadership in Washington D.C., there will be efforts to address what he described as failures of the current administration. "With unified Republican leadership in our nation’s capital, we will deliver where the Biden administration intentionally failed, lock down our border, and protect our families and communities from violent crime," he added.

The passage of this act marks a significant move by lawmakers to address concerns related to immigration and public safety.
