Vote No. 249

Motion by Ms. Leger Fernández to make in order amendment #24 to the Senate amendments to H.R. 7148, offered by Representative Salinas, which would hold the federal government civilly liable when a CBP or ICE officer violates an individual's constitutional rights, creating a cause of action against the federal government. This would also create a right to sue for punitive damages under the Federal Tort Claims Act. Defeated: 4–8
