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

The law directs Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain illegal immigrants arrested or charged with theft-related crimes, or those accused of assaulting a police officer.

Under the new law, federal officials would be required to detain any migrant arrested or charged with crimes like shoplifting, assaulting a police officer or crimes that injure or kill someone.
