The Senate voted on Monday to pass a GOP-led bill that would mandate the detention of undocumented migrants who have been charged with certain crimes. The bill, known as the Laken Riley Act, received bipartisan support with a vote of 64 to 35.
The House is expected to approve the Senate-passed bill later this week, paving the way for it to be sent to the White House for final approval. This legislative move marks an early victory for President Trump and congressional Republicans, who prioritized this bill as the first of the new Congress.
