The House is set to vote on a bill next week that requires the removal of illegal immigrants convicted of sexual offenses.

Elon Musk, a billionaire, previously criticized Democrats who opposed the legislation and showed support for it just days ago.

The Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act, which was first proposed by Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., last year, received bipartisan support in the House and was passed with all Republican lawmakers voting in favor, along with 51 House Democrats.

Although the bill was not passed by the previously Democrat-controlled Senate, Mace reintroduced it on Friday to begin the process anew in the new 119th Congress.

"Passing the bill through both chambers of Congress is our goal this time around," Mace stated on social media over the weekend.

According to two sources, House GOP leaders plan to hold another vote on it next week, which will occur right before President-elect Trump's inauguration.

Several conservative policy bills, including those related to border security, were introduced by House Republicans on the first day of the 119th Congress.

Over the weekend, Musk urged Democrats who opposed the September bill to step forward and challenge them.

"Please provide a list of those who opposed the law and want to keep convicted sex offenders in America," Musk wrote on X in response to a conservative influencer discussing the bill. "All of them need to be voted out of office."

After the November election, GOP lawmakers are signaling their intention to quickly enact their agenda with the Republicans' retention of the House and acquisition of the White House and Senate.

Reps. Chip Roy and Mike Collins, both Republicans from Texas and Georgia respectively, also reintroduced their legislation that passed the House last year but did not receive a Senate vote, in addition to Mace bringing her bill back.

Roy proposed a bill requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration, while Collins is pushing for federal authorities to detain and arrest illegal aliens who commit theft-related crimes, as defined by state and local law.

Another House vote on the latter bill is anticipated this week.
