US House passes Enabling Act for Trump’s war on immigrants

Source: The Hill

“The House on Wednesday passed the Laken Riley Act, sending the immigration-related bill to President Trump’s desk in what is poised to be his first legislative victory since returning to the White House this week. The chamber cleared the bill in a 263-156 vote. Forty-six Democrats voted with all present Republicans in favor of the legislation. … ‘Under this bill, a person who has lived in the United States for decades, say for most of her life, paid taxes and bought a home, but who is mistakenly arrested for shoplifting would not be free to resume her life, but rather would be detained and deported, even if the charges are dropped,’ House Judiciary Committee Chair Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said when the House first debated the bill earlier this month.” (01/22/25)
