House passes Laken Riley Act, sending it to Trump for first legislative win
- The House passed the Laken Riley Act, which requires detainment of unauthorized migrants accused of theft and violent crimes, marking President Donald Trump's first legislative win as Congress supports his immigration plans.
- The Act is named after Laken Riley, a Georgia nursing student murdered by a Venezuelan man, highlighting the shift in political debate over immigration following Trump's election victory.
- The bill passed with bipartisan support, receiving 263 votes in favor, but it does not provide new funding for the required increase in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's capabilities.
- The legislation allows state attorneys general to sue the federal government over immigration decisions, giving states more power in setting immigration policy amid concerns about its implications for due process rights.
