"House Passes Laken Riley Act Addressing Immigration and Crime"
TL;DR Summary
The House of Representatives passed the Laken Riley Act, which requires migrants charged with theft or burglary to be detained by federal immigration authorities, just hours before President Biden's State of the Union address. The bill is named after Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student who was murdered by an illegal migrant. The legislation also calls for the reinstatement of the "Remain in Mexico" policy and allows state attorneys general to sue the secretary of Homeland Security over immigration actions. The bill passed with 37 Democrats joining all Republicans, while all 170 "no" votes came from Democratic lawmakers.
