  • Summary

  • Americans collectively grieved when Laken Riley, a 22-year-old Augusta University nursing student was violently murdered by José Antonio Ibarra, a 26-year-old Venezuelan illegal immigrant, while on a morning jog in her college town. Today, lawmakers are committed to establishing legislation to avoid senseless crimes like these. Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) and Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) discuss how these efforts on Capitol Hill have led to the Laken Riley Act, a bill recently passed by Congress that requires federal detention for illegal immigrants guilty of theft crimes.
