Season 2 is here with the 119th Congress!!!
In this episode of The Weekly Congressional Report, we examine The Laken Riley Act, a bill aimed at tightening immigration enforcement in cases involving theft-related crimes. The proposed legislation mandates the Department of Homeland Security to detain non-citizens charged with burglary, theft, larceny, or shoplifting in the United States. It also grants state attorneys general the authority to take legal action against federal agencies for non-compliance with detention requirements, marking a significant shift in the interplay between state and federal oversight of immigration policies.
Join Brian Barnes along with AI hosts Avery and Iris as they break down the provisions of this act, exploring its potential impact on law enforcement, state-federal dynamics, and the broader immigration debate. This episode unpacks how this legislation seeks to balance public safety concerns with the complexities of immigration reform.
