The House on Thursday passed the Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act authored by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC).

The measure mandates the deportation of illegal immigrants convicted of violent crimes against women, including domestic violence, sex crimes, and other offenses.

The bill was passed in a 274 to 145 vote, with 61 Democrats joining 213 Republicans who voted for the proposed legislation. It was opposed by 145 Democrats.

In a speech on the House floor on Thursday, Mace said, “Under the open border policies of Joe Biden and border czar Kamala Harris and Secretary [Alejandro] Mayorkas, our country has been ravaged by a horde of illegal aliens molesting American children, battering and bruising and beating up American women, and violently raping American women and girls.”

The lawmaker further explained that the bill “makes it very clear that if an illegal alien commits a sex crime or an act of domestic violence, they are inadmissible, and deportable.” Read more, see Xs and videos here.

On Wednesday, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that she spoke to President-elect Donald Trump and explained “it is up to Greenland itself to make a decision on independence.” 

This conversation came after Trump began saying that the United States should purchase Greenland. Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark.

Frederiksen explained that Danish companies have contributed to jobs and growth in the United States and that they both have a common interest in strengthened trade.

In the 45-minute conversation, Frederiksen and Trump also discussed the war in Ukraine, the situation in the Middle East and the relationship with China.

“The Prime Minister and the incoming President have agreed to continue the dialogue,” the press release said. 

Late last month, Trump wrote on his platform Truth Social that the United States owning Greenland “is an absolute necessity.”
