CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

Senate Roll Call 3

119th Congress · Session 1 · January 15, 2025

A vote on a proposed change to the bill

A vote on one change, not on the bill. A bill can collect dozens of these, and losing one does not stop it.

What was being voted on

119-SAMDT-14 — To expand the list of criminal offenses that subject inadmissible aliens to mandatory detention.

What the Amendment Does Mr. Cornyn, along with Mr. Budd, submitted amendment SA 14 to be proposed to another amendment on the bill S. 5. Common sense tells us we need to keep track of what officials are trying to change here, so let's look at what this adds. The amendment changes the bill to include individuals who are charged with, arrested for, convicted of, or who admit to committing acts of burglary, theft, larceny, shoplifting, assault of a law enforcement officer, or any crime resulting in death or serious bodily injury to another person.

The Senate recorded this as
On the Amendment S.Amdt. 14 to S.Amdt. 8 to S. 5 (No short title on file)
To expand the list of criminal offenses that subject inadmissible aliens to mandatory detention.
