AI Summary

This bill, known as the Laken Riley Act, aims to require the Secretary of Homeland Security to take into custody aliens who have been charged in the United States with theft or other specified criminal offenses. The bill includes findings that mourn the loss of Laken Riley and other victims, denounces the Biden administration's "open borders policies," and calls for increased immigration enforcement, detention, and removal of criminal aliens. It amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to expand the categories of aliens the Secretary must detain, and provides standing for state attorneys general to bring legal actions against the federal government for alleged violations of detention and removal requirements. The bill also addresses the Secretary's parole authority and the requirement to discontinue issuing visas to certain nationals.
