Congressman Clay Higgins, representing Louisiana's Republican party, cast his vote in favor of the Laken Riley Act, also known as S. 5. This legislative measure mandates the Department of Homeland Security to detain illegal aliens who have committed crimes without delay.
The bill has successfully passed through both chambers of Congress and is now awaiting President Trump's signature to become law. It aligns with the executive actions previously set forth by President Trump aimed at securing the southern border and deporting criminal illegal aliens who entered the United States during the previous administration.
Congressman Higgins commented on the legislation, stating, "This legislation reflects Republican commitment to prosecute and deport criminal aliens and protect American lives." He further emphasized that "American citizens will be protected," adding that by collaborating with President Trump, they are taking prompt measures for national safety and security.
