Senate Democrats have voted down the Laken Riley Act, which would have required U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to arrest and detain illegal aliens responsible for thefts, burglary, larceny, or shoplifting until their deportation from the United States. They have also blocked moves to stop cities from becoming “sanctuaries” for illegals who face deportation, blocked efforts to stop the federal government from flying hundreds of thousands of migrants into undisclosed locations, and voted against ending fast past entry for illegals via the CBP One app.
“The biggest story in Congress should be that every Senate Dem just voted against the Laken Riley Act, ending sanctuary cities, ending Biden’s secret migrant flights, [and] ending fast pass entry for illegals via [the Customs and Border Protection] phone app,” commented Stephen Miller, a senior advisor to Donald Trump.
House Republicans passed the Laken Riley bill in response to the killing of Laken Riley, a young nursing student whose alleged murderer is a Venezuelan illegal who was at large despite having been arrested for shoplifting and skipping court.
One-hundred and seventy House Democrats also voted against the Laken Riley Act.
Following a violent breach of the border by a migrant mob last week, Joe Biden claimed Trump, rather than his own government or party, was responsible for the illegal immigration crisis.
The biggest story in Congress should be that every Senate Dem just voted against:
—The Laken Riley Act
—Ending Sanctuary Cities
—Ending Biden’s secret migrant flights
—Ending fast pass entry for illegals via CBP phone app
Has a single Dem even issued a statement on their vote? https://t.co/eojd21WWUT— Stephen Miller (@StephenM) March 25, 2024
