Hageman | H001096 | hageman.house.gov | hageman | https://hageman.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Washington, DC – Today, House Republicans delivered a decisive victory for public safety with the passage of H.R. 29, the Laken Riley Act. This bill, named in honor of a young woman whose life was tragically cut short by a criminal illegal alien, seeks to correct the systemic failures of our immigration policies that have prioritized foreign criminals over American lives. Illegal aliens who enter the U.S. unlawfully and commit crimes represent an unchecked threat to homeland security. Currently, official estimates put the number of illegal aliens granted safe harbor by the Biden Administration at over 12 million, but some estimates say that number is as high as 25 million. Laken Riley’s murder, committed by an illegal alien protected from deportation by the Biden Administration’s weak immigration policies, exemplifies the deadly consequences of ignorant pro-illegal immigration policies. These tragedies could be easily prevented if Democrats valued the lives of young Americans as much as they value appeasing open-border advocates. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T17:10:36Z |
