Senate passes Laken Riley Act

NYP

The Senate passed the Laken Riley Act hours after President Trump was sworn into office Monday — a move that would pave the way for US officials to detain illegal migrants who engage in theft-related offenses.

Senators voted 64 to 35 to green-light the measure, which is named after Laken Riley, a former Georgia nursing student who was bludgeoned to death at 22 while out on a jog in February. Twelve Democrats joined their GOP counterparts in backing the bill.

Riley was strangled and beaten to death by a Tren de Aragua gang member and illegal migrant who had previously been released back into the US even after multiple arrests, including for theft. more here
