WASHINGTON — Speaker Johnson released the following statement after the House of Representatives passed the Laken Riley Act in a bipartisan vote.
Named after Laken Riley, a nursing student who was tragically killed by an illegal alien who was released by the Biden Administration, the legislation would require Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) to arrest, detain, and deport illegal aliens who commit theft-related offenses. The legislation would also allow individual states to sue the federal government if an immigration-related action harms the state or its citizens.
“Laken Riley would still be alive if the Biden Administration had done its job. House Republicans are not going to stand by quietly while the President and his administrationrelease dangerous criminals into our communities. The Laken Riley Act would help prevent future tragedies. If Senator Schumer and President Biden care to protect Americans and are serious about securing the border, they will bring this legislation up for a vote and sign it into law immediately.”
