Heinrich Statement On Legislation That Would Crush Law Enforcement And Upend Everyday Immigration Decisions
- The Senate passed the Laken Riley Act with a 64-35 vote, which requires Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain undocumented immigrants arrested for certain crimes, including shoplifting and burglary.
- Twelve Democrats voted for the bill, bringing Congressional Republicans closer to a legislative win for President Donald Trump, as the bill now heads to the House for a final vote.
- The legislation allows state attorneys general to sue the federal government over immigration decisions and includes an amendment for mandatory detention for crimes resulting in death or serious bodily injury.
- Critics argue the act will empower Trump's mass deportation plan, denying due process and allowing imprisonment based on accusations without charges or convictions.
