House passes Laken Riley Act, sending it to Trump for first legislative win
- The House passed the Laken Riley Act, which mandates the detainment of unauthorized migrants accused of theft and violent crimes, with a vote of 263-156, marking President Donald Trump's first legislative win.
- The act is named after Laken Riley, a Georgia nursing student murdered by a Venezuelan man, reflecting a shift in the political debate over immigration following Trump's election victory.
- The bill will require a significant increase in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement capabilities but does not provide new funding, raising concerns among some Democrats about its effectiveness.
- The legislation allows state attorneys general to sue the federal government over immigration decisions, giving states more power in immigration policy, despite criticism from Democrats about potential partisanship.
