Recently, the House of Representatives passed the Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act with bipartisan support. The bill aims to deport illegal immigrants convicted of sexual offenses or conspiracy to commit such crimes. While all present Republicans voted in favor of the bill, 51 Democratic lawmakers also supported it, resulting in a 266 to 158 vote in favor of the measure.
Notable Democrats who voted for the bill include Reps. Mary Peltola, Marie Gluesenkamp-Perez, Jared Moskowitz, and Hillary Scholten. Two of the Democratic supporters, Rep. Elissa Slotkin and Rep. Abigail Spanberger, are currently seeking higher office.
