U.S. House approves Laken Riley Act over opposition from majority of Democrats

The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Laken Riley Act with a vote of 251-170, which requires Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to detain undocumented immigrants who commit theft-related crimes like burglary or shoplifting. The bill was named after Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student killed by an undocumented Venezuelan migrant. Despite its passage, the bill faced opposition from a majority of Democrats, with only 37 Democrats voting in favor. Critics argue that the bill could lead to racial profiling and does not address the broader issues of immigration reform. The legislation now moves to the Senate, where its future is uncertain due to the Democratic majority and the need for bipartisan support.
