The Laken Riley Act, named for the slain nursing school student who was attacked and killed by a Venezuelan citizen who had entered the U.S. illegally, is the first legislative win of Trump's second term.

This bipartisan legislation represents the most substantial reform in immigration enforcement and border security in nearly three decades.

The legislation mandates the detention and potential deportation of people in the U.S. illegally who are accused of theft and violent crimes before conviction.
