House passes Laken Riley Act requiring ICE to detain migrants arrested for theft
The House of Representatives on Thursday passed the Laken Riley Act that would require ICE to detain illegal immigrants charged with local theft or burglary, after a migrant accused of similar offenses was arrested for the murder of an American college student.
The act, which was passed by a 251-170 vote, is named after 22-year-old Laken Riley, a college nursing student who was recently killed on the campus of University of Georgia. Jose Antonio Ibarra, the illegal immigrant from Venezuela charged with the brutal murder, had been arrested in New York prior to the murder, but was not detained by ICE.
“The senseless murder of Laken Riley by Jose Ibarra, who had no business being in this country, was another wakeup call as Americans experience an illegal alien crime wave because of Joe Biden’s open border and local sanctuary city policies,” Rep. Mike Collins, R-Ga., who introduced the bill, told Fox News Digital earlier this week. He said Thursday after its passage in a post on X that “I now urge the Senate to take up this bill immediately.”
Before being charged with felony murder, Ibarra was once arrested in New York for endangering a child, and he was cited in Georgia for misdemeanor shoplifting in October 2023 along with his brother, Diego Ibarra, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Realistically, any person arrested for any crime who is unlawfully present in the U.S. should be reported to ICE, and held till ICE comes and picks them up. This bill is aimed directly at those jurisdictions which refuse to cooperate with ICE. In comparison, if someone is going through the legal naturalization system and commit a crime, they are booted from the U.S. It’s spelled out in black and white in the instructions. They know this before they come. They sign documents that they’re clear on all the provisions of obtaining citizenship, including not being criminals. Yet, sanctuary cities, counties, and states ignore illegal aliens committing crime, and usually let them go.
The Laken Riley Act would “require Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to issue a detainer for illegal aliens who are charged or cited with local theft or burglary.”
The bill will also allow individual states to take action against the federal government “if an immigration related action harms the state or its citizens.”
“Allow states to sue the federal government for injunctive relief if an immigration related action (parole, violation of detention requirements, etc.), harms the state or its citizens. This gives states legal resource to force the federal government to address certain failures related to border security,” a press release announcing the legislation read.
It should allow cities and states to sue other cities and states which release illegal alien criminals.
37 Democrats voted with Republicans. My terrible rep, Deborah Ross, voted against it. You can see what yours did here. Will the Senate take the bill up and have a vote?
MTG humiliated pen and embarrassed the weak kneed poopy pants president into finally saying “her name”. And even then the dummy called her “Lincoln” Riley being the left wing moron that he is. I love when the sniveling old man tries to scream like he’s got power. Ha ha ha ha ha.
The verdict this morning was at about 13 million votes switched from commiecrat to Republican last night. Way to go Joey, thanks for the help. If we can keep him talking all the way up until the election they’re gonna have to print 200 million ballots to win this one. The sad thing is they can do it.
All the talking head Democrats on TV are crying their eyes out this morning. Joe Scarborough looked like he was ready to put a gun in his mouth. I just love to watch the pigs on the view try and make a good thing out of a train wreck. A bunch of privileged women talking down to everybody else is all they are. Here’s a list of president douchebags accomplishments:

You must not have watched Dark Brandon’s speech.
Trump lost the election last night.
“I’VE MADE SURE THE MOSH ADVANED AMERGUN TECHNOMY NOT AMAIL IN SHINA!”
“ARE RGP IS UP MOREMA DECADE!”
“DASH WHY I BUILNA COALITION OF MORDAN MIMY COUNNRIES.”
“NO PET PALESTINIAN LIVE IN DIGNITY!”
“TO THE LEADERSHIM OF ISZZRL I SHAY DISH.”
“HAMAS ENTERED THIS CRISIS BY ENDING THE HOSTAGES!”
Even the rightwing Washigton Times had to admit that most of the people who actually watched the speech liked it 64% LIKED IT 35% DIDN’T.
Clown shows and train wrecks always attract attention.
Wonder why.
Back to your hookah, johnnie boy.
“Fortified by Kinko’s,” I guess? No sane American wants more of what “Dark Brandon” HAHAHAHAHAHAH is promising. You’re an idiot.
Your “terrible” House rep easily won election, that district loves her. Maybe you should consider movimng rather than live in such a dark blue district where your vote basically doesn’t count.
All Republicans present and voting voted for the bill. I predict that, when the bill goes to the Senate, Majority Leader Upchuck Schumer will not allow it to come up for a vote.
Heckuva job Joey!

Bwaha! Lolgf
union Boss??? I thought the rightwing hated unions especially public service unions. Arent unions the start of a slippery slope to COMMUNISM!!!
You answered your own question by stating “you thought”.
Next time you have a “thought”, johnnie boy, just let it go.
Now back to your hookah, shroom boy.
CarolAnn you style, and word choice so remind us of someone else……
the right wing of American politics has always hate any new people coming here. They hated the Irish, they hated the Italians and they hated the Chinese and they hated the Eastern European Jews. The rightwing of America refused to allow the Jews asking for asylum from the Nazis. The current rightwing is continuing this. That is the biggest reason that American Jews (like the despised Schumer) vote Dem/left.
Got you some powerful shrooms there, hey johnnie boy?
You keep using this word “rightwing.”
I do not think it means what you think it means.
Now go and fuck off like a good lad until you can use words properly.
If they were serious, a federal law would be enacted making being in the country illegally an aggravating factor, so that any crime — ANY crime, from murder to DUI to purse snatching to petty vandalism — against an American citizen automatically becomes a capital offense.
If you “tag” an underpass with graffiti, if you crash into someone, if you break into a house or business, and you are in the country illegally, we will hang your ass and then either feed it to the pigs or sling you back over the border by the rope where you belong.
THAT is the kind of law that would be passed by a government that valued the lives of Americans over foreigners.
