Democrats in the House Judiciary Committee approved a universal background check (https://americanmilitarynews.com/2019/02/house-background-check-bill-could-pave-way-for-federal-gun-registry/)bill, but rejected an amendment to alert authorities when certain buyers fail a background check ? even if the buyer isn?t a legal citizen.
Republican Rep. Greg Steube introduced the amendment to H.R. 8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, that would require notification to specific law enforcement agencies when an individual fails a background check, and would require Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to be notified upon the failed background check of an illegal immigrant, Fox News reported (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democrats-reject-push-to-alert-ice-when-illegal-immigrants-fail-firearm-background-checks).
Democrats rejected the amendment, instead passing the bill without it in a 23-15 committee vote and sending it to the House floor for a full vote.
