💨 Abstract

The U.S. Senate Democrats have provided the necessary votes to advance a bill that requires authorities to detain migrants suspected of theft if they entered the country illegally. The bill, named the "Laken Riley Act," was inspired by a Georgia college student murdered by an illegal immigrant previously arrested for shoplifting. The bill is expected to pass next week and could cost $26.9 million annually at its peak.
