"House Passes Laken Riley Act to Detain Migrants Accused of Theft After Georgia Student's Death"

House Republicans passed the "Laken Riley Act" requiring federal authorities to detain unauthorized immigrants accused of theft, following the recent death of a Georgia nursing student. The bill, seen as a political move, aims to rebuke President Biden's border policies. Republicans are using the tragedy to criticize immigration policies, while Democrats argue that the GOP is not serious about enacting border policy changes. The legislation, which also allows states to sue the federal government over harm caused by immigrants who enter the country illegally, is unlikely to advance in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
