Bill Summary
A bill to require the Secretary of Homeland Security to take into custody aliens who have been charged in the United States with theft, and for other purposes.
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. The key provisions of the bill include amending the Immigration and Nationality Act to add a new category of aliens who must be detained, specifically those charged with burglary, theft, larceny, or shoplifting. The bill also allows state attorneys general or other authorized state officers to bring legal action against the federal government for alleged violations of detention and removal requirements, as well as for violations of limitations on the use of parole authority. The overall purpose of the bill is to address the Biden administration's "open borders policies" and prevent incidents like the murder of Laken Riley, which the bill's supporters believe was a result of these policies.
