Senate passes immigrant detention bill that could be first measure Trump signs into law

[Maximum Overkill 2,008]

Fresh off President Donald Trump's inauguration, the Senate on Monday passed a bill that would require federal authorities to detain migrants accused of theft and violent crimes, the first measure he likely will sign into law and giving more weight to his plans to deport millions of migrants.

Trump has made a broad crackdown on illegal immigration his top priority, and Congress, with Republicans in control and some Democrats willing to go along, is showing it is ready to follow suit. The bill passed 64-35, with 12 Democrats joining with Republicans voting in favor.

Passage of the Laken Riley Act - named after a Georgia nursing student whose murder by a Venezuelan man last year became a rallying cry for Trump's White House campaign - was a sign of how Congress has shifted sharply right on border security and immigration. Passage came just minutes before Trump signed the first of his executive orders.

So non violent people who are committing crimes by being here illegally shouldn't pay the price for their crimes. You sound like one of those "looting is fine" nutjobs.

Sanctuary cities do. Are you daft? The bill was written because a sanctuary city let a violent criminal go instead of turning him over to ICE and he went and killed and raped someone else’s daughter.
