    Trump Signs Laken Riley Act as First Bill of Second Term, Mandating Detention of Illegal Aliens

    19 postsTrump PolicyWashington DCPoliticsUnited States

    President Donald J. Trump has signed the Laken Riley Act into law, marking it as the first bill of his second term. The act, named after Augusta University nursing student Laken Riley, mandates the detention of illegal aliens charged with theft or burglary. The signing ceremony took place in the East Room of the White House, with Riley's family present. Laken Riley was murdered by Jose Antonio Ibarra, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, who was sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty. The legislation passed with bipartisan support in both the U.S. House and Senate, though it faced opposition from some Democrats. The act requires the Department of Homeland Security to detain non-U.S. nationals charged with or convicted of theft-related crimes, assaulting a police officer, or crimes resulting in death or serious bodily injury.
