US Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) speaks at a press event on the Laken Riley Act at the US Capitol in Washington, DC, on January 9, 2025. The Laken Riley Act -- which calls for the detention of undocumented immigrants charged with theft-related crimes -- is named for a 22-year-old student murdered by a Venezuelan man with no papers who was wanted for shoplifting.
