GOP plans to jam Schumer with immigration bills

• Before the vote, Democratic leadership circulated a document saying the act would make America "less safe" and slamming it for taking away resources from arresting "serious criminals," Axios has learned.
• The document from the Senate Judiciary Committee, sent to members by leadership, outlines what Democrats are likely to want addressed before its final passage.

⏩ But more is coming: Republicans are lining up votes on immigration issues that got Democratic support in the last Congress but were blocked by Schumer, Politico reports.

• That includes withholding federal funds for sanctuary cities, making assaults on law enforcement and sexual and domestic violence deportable offenses and stiffening the penalty for fleeing law enforcement.

Zoom in: Schumer voted Thursday to advance the Laken Riley Act, but wants amendments.

• The act would require the detention of undocumented immigrants charged with some nonviolent crimes.
• Democrats say the incoming Trump administration would use the bill to deport DACA recipients and it could be used to deport longtime undocumented immigrants who have not been convicted of a crime.
