The Western Journal: House Set to Pass Laken Riley Act in First Legislative Move of the 119th Congress
The House of Representatives is set to vote on the Laken Riley Act, which mandates the detention of illegal immigrants who commit crimes and allows states to sue the Department of Homeland Security for related injuries. This follows the murder of nursing student Laken Riley by an illegal immigrant.
