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 Laken Riley Act passed Congress with bipartisan support as Trump makes good on his campaign-trail vow to deport illegal immigrants — beginning with those already charged or convicted of crimes, of whom more than 660,000 were present and not in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody as of last year.
