<p>Dozens of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/house-democrats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Democrats</a> assisted Republicans in passing a bill on Tuesday that aims to shore up <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/border-crisis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">border security</a> in yet another display of bipartisanship on the contentious issue.</p>
<p>The legislation, which seeks to establish <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/5585/text?format=txt&amp;r=1&amp;s=8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new penalties</a> for individuals who engage in high-speed vehicle chases while fleeing Border Patrol agents within 100 miles of the border, secured a 271-154 majority vote.</p>
<p>A <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/202425" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tally by the House clerk</a> showed 215 Republicans and 56 Democrats voted in support of the bill while 154 Democrats and no Republicans voted against it.</p>
<p>Rep. Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ) said he was <a href="https://twitter.com/RepCiscomani/status/1752456005072384498" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;thrilled&#8221;</a> that his Agent Raul Gonzalez Officer Safety Act, which he named after a Border Patrol agent killed in a 2022 <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/u-s-border-patrol-agent-raul-humberto-gonzalez-jr-killed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ATV crash</a> while <a href="https://www.valleycentral.com/news/local-news/border-patrol-lays-to-rest-fallen-agent-who-died-in-atv-crash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pursuing a group of illegal immigrants</a> in Texas, passed with bipartisan support.</p>
<p>&#8220;Smugglers along the border have led federal and Arizona law enforcement on high-speed chases — and some of these pursuits have ended with deadly consequences,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/RepGregStanton/status/1752449961676173782" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Rep. Greg Stanton (D-AZ) in a post to X, adding that he voted to pass the bill &#8220;to institute strong new federal penalties.&#8221;</p>
<p>One Democrat who opposed the bill was Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL).</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m ready to work together to make effective changes to our immigration policies,&#8221; Quigley <a href="https://twitter.com/RepMikeQuigley/status/1752450573515755851" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post to X. &#8220;However, the Agent Raul Gonzalez Officer Safety Act that Republicans passed today isn&#8217;t a solution. It&#8217;s a partisan messaging bill crafted in bad faith to unfairly target immigrants.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has <a href="https://www.cruz.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/sen-cruz-introduces-the-agent-raul-gonzalez-officer-safety-act-to-protect-border-patrol-agents-local-law-enforcement-and-border-communities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">introduced</a> a <a href="https://ciscomani.house.gov/media/press-releases/ciscomani-leads-push-impose-life-sentences-migrants-if-anyone-killed-high" target="_blank" rel="noopener">companion bill</a> in the upper chamber. Lawmakers said the National Border Patrol Council and other law enforcement groups support the legislation.</p>

<p>Some of the Democrats who backed the House bill were among the 14 who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/14-house-democrats-vote-to-denounce-biden-admins-open-borders-policies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">broke ranks</a> earlier this month and joined with most Republicans in voting to denounce the Biden administration&#8217;s &#8220;open-borders policies.&#8221;</p>
<p>Passage of the Agent Raul Gonzalez Officer Safety Act came as a House committee considered two articles of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/impeachment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impeachment</a> against Homeland Security Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alejandro-mayorkas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alejandro Mayorkas</a> over his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-shatters-record-with-historic-number-of-illegal-aliens-encountered-in-december" target="_blank" rel="noopener">handling of</a> the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/border-crisis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">border crisis</a>. It also took place as Senate negotiators worked to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/speaker-johnson-clashes-with-biden-white-house-over-border-security-authorities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hash out a bipartisan deal</a> coupling aid for U.S. allies, such as Ukraine and Israel, with border security reforms.</p>
<p>&#8220;Today the House voted to pass the Agent Raul Gonzalez Officer Safety Act which would impose criminal and immigration penalties against any illegal immigrant who intentionally evades a federal officer while driving,&#8221; House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) <a href="https://twitter.com/SpeakerJohnson/status/1752493795940131169" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post to X. &#8220;The House stands shoulder-to-shoulder with every law enforcement officer working to secure the border.&#8221;</p>
