House to vote on Laken Riley Act, teeing up immigration crackdown

^{Published on 2025-01-22 17:20:38 - ABC}

The House will vote on an amended version of the Laken Riley Act on Wednesday, two weeks after it initially passed the bill.

The House of Representatives is set to vote on the Laken Riley Act, a bill named after a 22-year-old nursing student who was allegedly killed by an undocumented immigrant. This legislation, introduced by Rep. Mike Collins, aims to mandate the detention of undocumented immigrants who commit theft-related crimes, including shoplifting, and would also allow states to sue the federal government over immigration policies they believe have caused harm. The bill has sparked a debate on immigration policy, with Republicans pushing for stricter measures and Democrats criticizing it as a political move rather than a solution to immigration issues. The vote is expected to highlight the ongoing partisan divide on immigration, with the bill likely to pass in the House but face challenges in the Democrat-controlled Senate.
