Representatives Alma Adams (D-NC12), Valerie Foushee (D-NC04), and Deborah Ross (D-NC02) were "nay" votes on H.R. 7343, the Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act, a bill which would’ve required federal officials to detain migrants accused of assaulting law enforcement until deportation.
U.S. Reps. Adams, Foushee, and Ross joined 145 of their Democrat colleagues in opposing the bill, which ultimately passed 265 to 148.
The Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) "to take custody of any non-U.S. national (alien under federal law) who meets certain inadmissibility criteria and is arrested for, is charged with, is convicted of, or admits to assaulting a law enforcement officer, firefighter, or other first responder."
The bill was introduced in the House in February 2024 and, while it passed on May 15, three of the seven Democratic members of North Carolina's House delegation — Reps. Alma Adams, Valerie Foushee, and Deborah Ross — voted against it.
A recent report from Restoration News found that over 500 illegal alien alleged criminals were arrested in April alone. This figure included 20 illegal aliens arrested on murder charges.
According to the analysis, in April, four illegal immigrants were taken into custody by law enforcement in North Carolina and charged with crimes including "sexual contact or penetration under the pretext of medical treatment” and statutory rape and indecent liberties with a child.
Since President Biden took office, over 7.2 million illegal immigrants have entered the United States. According to a report from Fox News, this figure is larger than the population of 36 US States.
