•      "H.R. 4638 would render inadmissible and deportable any noncitizen who willfully or maliciously harms a police dog or a police horse. I am unaware of any mad rush of immigrants roaming the country and attacking police animals, so I am not sure what crisis this surplus language is responding to. In any event, what should have happened here did happen here. Mr. Marie was criminally charged, prosecuted, convicted, and deported from the country. In other words, the criminal justice system and the immigration system worked just like they are supposed to - a foreign national committed a crime, he was arrested, charged, prosecuted, convicted, and removed from the country, all without being stripped of any of the due process protections afforded to people in our country."
