House Passes Bill to Deport Migrants Convicted of Sex Crimes

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill on January 16, 2025, targeting the deportation of migrants convicted of sex crimes. The legislation, which has sparked heated debate, was discussed by former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy during an appearance on ‘The Ingraham Angle.’

The bill, introduced by Republican lawmakers, aims to strengthen immigration enforcement by mandating the removal of non-citizens found guilty of sexual offenses. McCarthy emphasized the importance of the legislation, stating, ‘This is about protecting American citizens and ensuring that those who commit serious crimes face consequences.’

Critics argue that the bill could lead to unintended consequences, including the separation of families and potential misuse of deportation powers. Immigration advocacy groups have expressed concerns about due process and the potential for racial profiling.

The legislation now moves to the Senate, where its fate remains uncertain. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has yet to comment on whether the bill will be brought to a vote. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden‘s administration has not indicated whether it would support or veto the measure if it reaches his desk.

This development comes amid ongoing debates over immigration reform and border security, which have been central issues in recent elections. The bill’s passage in the House reflects the growing emphasis on stricter immigration policies among Republican lawmakers.
