Yakym Votes to Protect Women from Violence by Illegal Immigrants

<p><strong>Washington, D.C. –&nbsp;</strong>Today, Congressman Rudy Yakym (IN-02) issued the following statement after voting for <a href="http://engagement.mail8.housecommunications.gov/f/a/jWX6d3stmlR_hMuNz1LK4w~~/AAS2ygA~/RgRpa7RMP0Q6aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY29uZ3Jlc3MuZ292L2JpbGwvMTE5dGgtY29uZ3Jlc3MvaG91c2UtYmlsbC8zMFcDc3BjQgpnf0wviWftU3doUhtpbjAyYWxsc3RhZmZAbWFpbC5ob3VzZS5nb3ZYBAAAAns~" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">H.R. 30</a>, the&nbsp;<em>Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act</em>; legislation that passed the U.S. House of Representatives today:&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris&#8217; watch, every community in the country has turned into a border community, with violence on the rise.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;As of July 21, 2024, there were 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories on ICE’s national non-detained docket and in 2024, over 20,000 illegal aliens were not detained for sexual assault. This is an unacceptable threat to the safety of our citizens and cannot be tolerated.&#8221;&nbsp;</p>

<p>“<a href="http://engagement.mail8.housecommunications.gov/f/a/jWX6d3stmlR_hMuNz1LK4w~~/AAS2ygA~/RgRpa7RMP0Q6aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY29uZ3Jlc3MuZ292L2JpbGwvMTE5dGgtY29uZ3Jlc3MvaG91c2UtYmlsbC8zMFcDc3BjQgpnf0wviWftU3doUhtpbjAyYWxsc3RhZmZAbWFpbC5ob3VzZS5nb3ZYBAAAAns~" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">H.R. 30</a> is a vital first step in the process of restoring law and order to our country by strengthening grounds for inadmissibility and removability and addressing domestic violence offenses in immigration law.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;House Republicans are hitting the ground running to protect our country and secure the border with President Trump&#8217;s return to the White House just 4 days away. I will always stand up for legislation that makes our country safer and stronger.&#8221; ###</p>
