Elon Musk, tech billionaire and Trump ally New criticism of the more than 150 House Democrats who voted against deporting illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes, demanding that each of the lawmakers be removed from office.
“There is no excuse. Please post the list of people who opposed this law and want to keep illegals who are convicted sex offenders in the United States,” Musk posted on his X account on Saturday, referencing a vote of the September Chamber.
“They all need to be removed from office. Every single one of them.”
The Illegal Alien Violence Against Women Act passed the House in September, after all 215 Republicans present voted in favor of the bill and were accompanied by 51 Democratic colleagues. However, a total of 158 Democrats voted against the bill.

Democrats who voted against the bill came under scrutiny in September and face fresh criticism on social media this month as commentators resurrect the vote before President-elect Trump takes office this month.
“The bill targeted rapists, pedophiles, domestic abusers and stalkers, ensuring they couldn’t stay in the US. Opponents claimed it ‘demonized immigrants,’ but how does it help anyone protect convicted predators, especially his victims?” Show X host Mario Nawfal posted to his account on Saturday, prompting Musk to intervene.
“Deporting violent criminals is not ‘fear mongering,’ it is a matter of basic public safety. Why would anyone vote to detain criminals who prey on women and children?” Nafal added.
The legislation would deport illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes, and would also deem inadmissible to the United States illegal immigrants who admit to or are convicted of domestic violence or sex-related charges, Fox Digital previously reported. The legislation is currently in the Senate and was referred to the Judiciary Committee.

Notable Democrats who voted against the legislation included Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., former California Rep. Adam Schiff, who now serves in the Senate, and former speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California.
Musk’s call for Democrats to be voted out of Congress comes after he promised in December to fund moderate Democratic politicians in deep blue districts, “so the country can get rid of those who don’t represent them.”

Musk is also scheduled to serve alongside Vivek Ramaswamy to lead an upcoming presidential advisory committee, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which will work to cut excessive government spending and reduce the size of government under the second Trump administration.

ELON MUSK ACCEPTS RON PAUL’S CALL TO ‘ELIMINATE FOREIGN AID’
“I mean, really, because we’re talking about illegals that are here that they are committing Domestic violence, rape and murder of women and children: they have to go. “They should not be allowed into our country.”
“158 Democrats just voted AGAINST deporting immigrants for sex crimes. This is a slap in the face to every victim and their families. Democrats hate you and your children,” the popular conservative X Libs TikTok account posted at the time. .
Democrats who voted against the bill characterized it as xenophobic and an example of “scaremongering” against immigrants.
“Here we are again, debating another partisan bill that fears migrant smugglers, instead of working together to fix the immigration system,” Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., said during the debate on the bill.
