The bill would require a massive ramp up in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s capabilities, but does not include any new funding.

Passage of the Laken Riley Act shows how sharply the political debate over immigration has shifted to the right following Trump 's election victory.

The bill was named after a Georgia nursing student who was murdered last year by a Venezuelan man.
