U.S. House PASSES Laken Riley Act, 264-159.Goes now to the U.S. Senate.



1:34 PM · Jan 7, 2025

The bill was named after 22-year-old Laken Riley, a University of Georgia student who was recently murdered by a Venezuelan illegal.

The illegal alien who murdered Laken Riley crossed into the US on Biden’s open border invitation.

According to an affidavit unsealed, the barbaric savage who murdered Laken Riley “disfigured her skull.”

Joe Biden won’t even say Laken Riley’s name.

“Mr. President, do you bear any responsibility for Laken Riley’s death!?” someone shouted at Biden during his visit to Brownsville, Texas last year.

Biden callously shuffled away.

159 House Democrats voted Tuesday against legislation titled the Laken Riley Act that would require federal immigration authorities to detain illegal migrants who commit theft-related crimes in the U.S and would also allow states to sue the Department of Homeland Security for harm caused to their residents because of illegal immigration.

The legislation ended up passing the House in a 264-159 vote with every Republican voting in favor of it. 48 Democrats ended up voting in favor of the bill. It will now head to the Senate. After the vote, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson released a statement calling out the 159 Democrats who voted against the Laken Riley Act.

“Laken Riley was brutally murdered by an illegal alien that President Biden and the Democrats let into this country with their open border policy. It is hard to believe after countless horrific stories like Laken’s, ANY House Democrats would vote against deporting illegal aliens who commit violent crimes against American citizens,” Speaker of the House Mike Johnson said in a statement.

“But 159 just did, demonstrating some Democrats have ignored the loud and clear message from voters in this election who demanded secure borders, the deportation of violent illegal aliens, and laws that put the safety and security of the American people first,” Johnson added.

HERE ARE THE DEMOCRATS WHO VOTED AGAINST THE LAKEN RILEY ACT

Jose Antonio Ibarra, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela who illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border, was convicted in November of killing Riley, 22. He was arrested by University of Georgia police.

In March, Georgia Senate Republicans introduced new legislation that would combat sanctuary policies and target officials who enact them in light of the murder of Riley.

That state bill would specifically strip local elected officials who enact sanctuary policies of their sovereign immunity, allowing anyone to bring a cause of action against them. The bill would also allow for the removal of local officials and would strip them of state funding and state-administered federal funding.

What was the reason that 159 Democrats had for voting AGAINST the Laken Riley Act?

Was it because the legislation would allow states to sue the Department of Homeland Security for harm caused to their residents because of illegal immigration?

There must to be a reason (even if it is lousy) for that many legislators to vote AGAINST such a common sense helpful Bill.

Have phoned the DC offices for the following Representatives to find out why they voted against the Laken Riley Act.

Left my email and we are waiting for their responses.

- Congressman Pete Aguilar, CA
- Congressman Gabe Amo, Rhode Island
