Elon Musk-backed bill to deport illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes to get House vote
Fox News
House lawmakers are expected to vote on a bill next week to deport illegal immigrants found guilty of sex crimes, two people told Fox News Digital.
The Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act was first introduced by Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., last year and passed the House with bipartisan support. All Republican lawmakers voted for the bill, along with 51 House Democrats. Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital leading coverage of the House of Representatives.

Because it was not taken up by the formerly Democrat-controlled Senate, however, Mace introduced the bill again on Friday to start the process again in the new 119th Congress.
