Senate adds amendment to immigration bill named after Laken Riley
- The Senate has advanced the Laken Riley Act, which requires ICE to detain undocumented immigrants accused of crimes, with a vote of 61-35 to break the filibuster.
- The bill could cost $86 billion over three years, significantly more than previous estimates, making full implementation impossible for ICE.
- The House previously approved the bill with support from 48 Democrats, and it will return to the House for another vote if passed by the Senate.
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer expressed concerns over the bill's deficiencies and criticized Republicans for not agreeing to amendments proposed by Democrats.
