Sen. Reuben Gallego, D-Ariz., co-sponsored the bill with Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala. Gallego told POLITICO there has been a "misunderstanding" about Latino voters' opinions on border security.

My constituents "want more Border Patrol, they want more border investments and enforcement … and they also want immigration reform," he said.

In a passionate debate ahead of the House vote Wednesday, several Democrats argued that the legislation violates civil rights by detaining people who are simply accused of a crime.

"If someone wants to point a finger and accuse someone of shoplifting, they will be rounded up and put into a private detention camp and sent out for deportation without a day in court," said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, D-N.Y. "That is what is in this bill, a fundamental suspension of a core American value."
