What is Laken Riley Act?

The new law mandates the federal detention of illegal migrants who are accused of theft, theft, attacking a law enforcement officer, and any crime that causes death or severe physical injury.

The Act allows states to sue the Homeland Security Department for alleged failures in immigration enforcement.

The law is named after the 22 -year -old nursing student Leken Riley at Georgia University. He was murdered by an immigrant Jose Antonio Ibara, an immigrant living in the US illegally. He was found guilty of killing the relay in November 2024 and sentenced to life in jail without parole.

Ibara was arrested for illegal entry in September 2022 near L Paso, Texas in September 2022, and was released in the immigration court to pursue his case. Federal officials say he was arrested and released by the New York Police for a child crisis in August 2023. Police say he was also issued a citation for shoplifting in Georgia in October 2023.

Donald Trump has not only promised to increase the exile rapidly, but he also said that the signature also states that some people cannot be counted to be sent back to their home countries.

“Some of them are so bad that we do not even trust those countries, because we do not want to come back, so we are going to send them to Gwantanamo,” said Mr. Trump. He said that he would direct federal officials to get the facilities prepared to get immigrant criminals in Cuba.

The White House some time later announced that Mr. Trump had signed a President’s memorandum on Gwantanamo. Migrant rights groups quickly expressed disappointment.
