The House of Representatives is set to vote on the Laken Riley Act, marking its first federal legislation on Tuesday afternoon. The bill, named after a nursing student tragically killed by an illegal immigrant, aims to address issues related to illegal immigration and border security.
If passed, the Laken Riley Act would require federal immigration authorities to detain illegal immigrants convicted of theft-related crimes. Additionally, it would empower states to sue the Department of Homeland Security for damages caused by illegal immigration.
