Iowa Senator Joni Ernst has introduced a bill to force ICE to track down illegal immigrants with records of sexual assaults and throw them out of the country; it’s called the “Be Gone Act.”
Ernst introduced the bill Tuesday morning; it will expedite the deportations of illegal migrants convicted of sexual assault and aggravated sexual violence.
“These violent criminals never would have entered America in the first place if we had real border security, but now that they’re in our communities, they need to BE GONE,” said Ernst in a statement shared with The Post.
“Since Border Czar Kamala Harris won’t protect this country, then I will. My legislation will combat sexual violence by ensuring predators are identified, stopped, and deported,” she added.
Ernst’s bill comes just days after Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales shared a shocking ICE report detailing hundreds of thousands of illegal migrant criminals currently residing in the U.S.
“ICE recognizes that some jurisdictions are concerned that cooperating with federal immigration officials will erode trust with immigrant communities and make it harder for local law enforcement to serve those populations,” ICE acting director Patrick Lechleitner wrote to Gonzales.
“However, ‘sanctuary’ policies can end up shielding dangerous criminals, who often victimize those same communities.”
“As of July 21, 2024, there were 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories on ICE’s national docket—13,099 criminally convicted MURDERS! Americans deserve to be SAFE in our own communities.” Gonzales posted on X.
