Eleven Democrats voted with Republicans in the US House of Representatives on Thursday to advance the so-called Stop Illegal Entry Act, which critics have condemned as ”dangerously overbroad” as well as ”dehumanizing and horrific.”
The final vote was 226-197. The 11 Democrats who joined all GOP members present in backing the bill were Reps. Henry Cuellar (Texas), Don Davis (NC), Laura Gillen (NY), Jared Golden (Maine), Vicente Gonzalez (Texas), Adam Gray (Calif.), Kristen McDonald Rivet (Mich.), Frank Mrvan (Ind.), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), Tom Suozzi (NY), and Gabe Vasquez (NM).
Introduced by Congresswoman Stephanie Bice (R-Okla.) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), HR 3486 would increase sentences for undocumented immigrants who repeatedly enter the United States illegally or enter the country and then commit a felony. The bill still needs Senate approval to reach the desk of Republican President Donald Trump, who supports it.
After Thursday’s vote, Mike Zamore, the ACLU’s national director of policy and government affairs, warned that “HR 3486 would supercharge President Trump’s reckless deportation drive, which is already damaging our economy and destabilizing communities.”

Not really. The media is amplifying the 45 court "wins" (which are still mostly at the SCOTUS level and are only in effect "until the lower courts are done their cases" ). But the vast majority of district and appellate court rulings have been AGAINST 45.
The problem is this SCOTUS mess, which is being done through what they have dubbed the "shadow docket", where rather than allowing the lower courts' rulings stand (putting holds on these illegal actions) until the cases are all fleshed out, they have overruled those lower courts to let the damage continue while the court cases play out.
