On Thursday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “The Record,” Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-NY) said that there is a bipartisan bill on immigration that Senate Majority Leader Sen.

Garbarino stated, 'I put in the POLICE Act, which was passed on a bipartisan basis in the House of Representatives last May. It says that if you assault a police officer, that is a deportable offense. Because, right now, the law isn’t really straight on that. So, that was passed. It’s waiting. We’re waiting for Chuck Schumer to pass it in the Senate. So, something like happened this weekend doesn’t — people can be deported for it.'
