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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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 administration is showing it doesn’t view the House and Senate as equal partners. So far, Republicans, who hold both majorities, are accepting their new status.

In short, there are now enough nukes on Earth to destroy any number of planets and, though one hasn’t been used in so many decades, don’t count on us when it comes to not, sooner or later, using some of them to engage in potentially world-ending behavior.
