Fetterman Backs Controversial Laken Riley Act
Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) has become the first Senate Democrat to sponsor the Laken Riley Act, which aims to empower U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to detain and deport undocumented immigrants charged with crimes like theft. The bill, which passed the House with bipartisan support, was motivated by the tragic murder of nursing student Laken Riley by an undocumented migrant who had previously been arrested but not deported. Fetterman expressed frustration with fellow Democrats who opposed the legislation, emphasizing the need for stronger immigration enforcement to ensure public safety. He stated, 'If you’re here illegally and you’re committing crimes, I don’t know why anybody thinks that it’s controversial that they all need to go.' The Laken Riley Act would also allow states to sue federal officials for adverse impacts caused by immigration policies. As the Senate prepares to vote on the bill, it highlights the growing divide within the Democratic Party over immigration policy.
