Senate advances Laken Riley Act, teeing up final vote

The Senate advanced the Laken Riley Act, a tough immigration crime bill, with a vote of 61-35, allowing for a final vote as early as Monday.
The bill mandates detaining undocumented immigrants suspected of theft-related crimes and was named after Laken Riley, a Georgia nursing student killed by an undocumented immigrant.
Ten Democratic senators, including Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly, supported the bill, emphasizing the need for law enforcement to protect communities.
Critics, including the American Civil Liberties Union, argue the bill could lead to wrongful detentions and mass deportations, particularly affecting victims of domestic violence and human trafficking.
