Laken Riley Act to Be First Piece of Legislation Signed by President Trump in His Second Term?

Last night, the Senate passed the Laken Riley Act, which would mandate federal detention for immigrants residing in the U.S. illegally if they are accused of crimes. The bill is expected to be Trump’s first piece of legislation signed into law this term.

As UPI reports, the vote was 64-35 and “Democrats who voted for the measure include Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Ruben Gallego of Arizona, Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, Mark Kelly of Arizona, Jon Ossoff of Georgia and Gary Peters of Michigan.”
