Blue State Democrats Block Debate On Bill To Notify ICE Of Illegal Immigrants Arrested For Violent Crimes
Democrats in the Minnesota House of Representatives on Monday blocked consideration of legislation that would require local prosecutors to notify the federal government when they arrest illegal immigrants for violent crimes.
Border czar Tom Homan announced the end of Operation Metro Surge, a crackdown on illegal immigration in Minnesota, during a Feb. 12 press conference, stating that over 12,000 illegal immigrants had been taken into custody during the enforcement operation. Republicans, who hold a slight majority in the body, said House File 16 was necessary to address controversy over the operations before the motion to consider it was defeated in a 67-67 tie vote.
“It is unquestionable that all of the alleged or actual negative externalities that came from Operation Metro Surge would not have happened were it for cooperation between local, state and federal law enforcement,” Republican state Rep. Walter Hudson said during the debate on whether to take the bill up for consideration.
