Rep. Barry Moore's bill to deport illegals who drive impaired passes the U.S. House of Representatives

July 1, 2025

Washington, D.C. — Today, Rep. Barry Moore (AL-01) released a statement after H.R. 875, The Jeremy and Angel Seay and Sergeant Brandon Mendoza Protect Our Communities from DUIs Act of 2025, passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 209-160. This legislation deports and renders inadmissible illegal immigrants who have been convicted of, or admit to, driving impaired.

Watch Rep. Moore deliver opening remarks on the House floor below:

"Today, we consider a simple common-sense bill that says if you're a guest in our country and you drive drunk, you should in fact be deported. Now to the average American passing this bill is a no-brainer. Even in a polarized time, Democrats should be able to join Republicans and unanimously support such reasonable legislation. After all, deporting dangerous criminals is a rational, normal, and coherent step that this House should take. Unfortunately, I am skeptical that we will see much agreement from my Democrat colleagues on this bill. Regardless, I am thankful the House is considering HR 875, the Jeremy and Angel Seay and Sergeant Brendan Mendoza Protect Our Communities from DUI's Act."
