Unanimous Consent Request--S. 5435 (Executive Session)
Senator Murphy asked the Senate to pass S. 5435 by unanimous consent; the bill would prohibit immigration officers from making arrests at or near school bus stops. He said such arrests frighten children and pointed to a case in his state where a father was arrested after dropping his child at the bus, and argued enforcement can happen elsewhere. Senator Banks objected, saying the bill would keep officers from doing their jobs and that people in the country illegally could use bus stops to avoid arrest. Murphy responded that immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than native-born citizens, noted that earlier administrations treated some locations as off limits, and said the bill would not create safe havens at bus stops.Written by AI from the debate.
