Breitbart-
The House of Representatives passed the Laken Riley Act on Tuesday morning despite opposition from 159 Democrats. The legislation requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to take into custody illegal aliens arrested, charged, or convicted for burglary, theft, larceny, or shoplifting.
All present House Republicans voted in favor of the Laken Riley Act which is named after the 22-year-old nursing student who was brutally murdered last year in Athens, Georgia, by an illegal alien released into the United States interior.
Months before Riley’s murder, Jose Antonio Ibarra was issued a citation for shoplifting in Athens and was later issued a bench warrant for failing to appear in court on those charges. Despite the charge, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) did not take him into custody. more
What happens when the local jurisdiction does not notify DHS after the arrest? Big cities in blue states will do what they have been doing all along, no bail release the suspect with a court date, which he never shows up for.
I don’t see this new law having much of an impact
This should have been the Kate Steinle/Laken Riley act.
Gonna’ need a bigger boat! All the Reps that voted “No” need to be taken out with the trash.
I looked the bill summary up earlier today. It looks like it just gives everyone the ability to sue everyone else. I’m not seeing the enforcement angle I was hoping for.

That’s 159 democrap congress critters that need to be removed from office ASAP. The democraps truly are the party of ghouls for voting against this.
Literally, the vast majority of democrats in Congress want illegal aliens to be able to commit violent crimes and still stay in the US.
View every democrat for what they are: Satanic pieces of shit.
Well, 158 Dems voted against deporting illegal immigrant sex offenders & rapists, so at least they are consistent. I wonder who supplied the extra vote?
