  If Democrats cannot recover their nerve and stand up to this extremism, they will be complicit in the devastating consequences of its passage.

The article from Slate discusses the "Laken Riley Act," a bill introduced by Republican lawmakers in response to the murder of Laken Riley, allegedly by an undocumented immigrant. The bill aims to mandate the detention of undocumented immigrants who commit theft or burglary, arguing that such crimes indicate a potential for more violent offenses. Critics, however, view this legislation as a "Trojan horse" designed to expand the scope of crimes that can lead to detention, thereby increasing the punitive measures against immigrants. The article suggests that the bill uses the tragic event to push for broader immigration enforcement, potentially at the expense of due process and fairness, and highlights the political motivations behind the act, noting that it might not effectively address the underlying issues of immigration or crime but serves to stoke fear and division.
