The Laken Riley Act, named for the slain nursing school student who was attacked and killed by a Venezuelan citizen who had entered the U.S. illegally, is the first legislative win of Trump's second term.

U.S. Rep. Emilia Sykes says her focus will always be on everyday people, and she's working to expand opportunities for 13th District constituents.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday will sign the Laken Riley Act into law as his administration's first piece of legislation. It mandates the detention and potential deportation of people in the U.S.

Sen. James Lankford has been trying to pass legislation in response to an industry he believes will leave small towns without many pharmacy options.

Congress passed the Laken Riley Act with bipartisan support. Here's what the strict measure really means for undocumented immigrants.

This bipartisan legislation represents the most substantial reform in immigration enforcement and border security in nearly three decades.

The bill would require law enforcement to detain immigrants without legal status arrested for crimes including larceny and shoplifting.

The House voted on Wednesday to pass a GOP-led bill to require detention of undocumented migrants charged with certain crimes, handing an early legislative win to President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans,

That means Congress would not only have to act to give Trump the ability to dissolve agencies in the first place, but it’d also have to approve any proposed Trump plan to eliminate FEMA.

Forty-six Democrats crossed party lines in voting to pass a bill requiring undocumented immigrants arrested for violent crimes to be held in jail pending trial.

The introduction of this legislation comes on the heels of Congress passing Britt’s Laken Riley Act.

Final approval by the House sent the legislation, which requires the detention and deportation of unauthorized migrants charged with crimes, to President Trump’s desk.
