  The bill seeks to give ICE and state governments more resources against those who have crossed the border illegally and committed crimes.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Laken Riley Act, which mandates the detention of undocumented immigrants who commit crimes such as theft or burglary. Named after Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student killed by an undocumented Venezuelan migrant, the bill received full support from Riley's family. The legislation aims to prevent similar tragedies by ensuring that undocumented immigrants who commit these offenses are detained rather than released. The bill passed with a vote of 251-170, with some Democrats joining Republicans in support. The family expressed gratitude for the bipartisan effort to honor Laken's memory through this act, emphasizing their hope that it would prevent other families from experiencing similar pain. However, the bill's future in the Senate remains uncertain.
