Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) signed into law new pieces of legislation intended to strengthen public safety following the death of Laken Riley, allegedly at the hands of an illegal immigrant.

The slate of bills, including House Bill 130 and Senate Bill 63, requires jails to find out the immigration status of inmates and report illegal immigrants in their custody and adds cash bail requirements for 30 additional crimes, including trespassing and racketeering.

Kemp celebrated the set of new laws and touted support for law enforcement after signing the bills from the Georgia Public Safety Training Center on Wednesday.

“Georgians have witnessed the disastrous impact lawlessness is having on communities across the country,” Kemp said on Wednesday.

“Thanks to the work of our legislative partners in the General Assembly, we are able to once again send the message that such lawlessness will find no safe haven in Georgia,” he added. “I am proud to sign legislation that boosts our recruitment of law enforcement officers, makes our communities safer, and provides our judicial system with even tougher tools to bring violent offenders to justice.”

The cash bail law also restricts people and groups from posting more than three cash bails per year while also putting bail groups under the same requirements as bond companies.

The February killing of Riley while she was jogging on the University of Georgia’s campus sparked national outrage, with bills being proposed in the Peach State and nationally to crack down on crimes committed by illegal immigrants.

The increased cash bail requirements for several crimes, including racketeering, comes months after several violent protesters and their associates were arrested and charged with various crimes for their unruly protests over the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, decried as “Cop City” by protesters.
