President Trump Signs the Laken Riley Act into Law
WASHINGTON – Today, President Trump signed his first piece of legislation into law, the Laken Riley Act. This law mandates the federal detention of illegal immigrants who are accused of theft, burglary, assaulting a law enforcement officer, and any crime that causes death or serious bodily injury.
A statement from Secretary Noem on the signing of the bill is below:
“Thank you, President Trump, for signing the Laken Riley Act. This law restores commonsense to our broken immigration system. Under President Trump, violent criminals and vicious gang members will no longer be released into American communities.”
The Laken Riley Act is named after a Georgia nursing student who was killed by a Venezuelan alien who was previously arrested and paroled into the U.S. under the previous administration.
Today, President Trump took a monumental step towards ensuring the safety and protection of our nation’s youth by signing the Laken Riley Act into law. This legislation, named in honor of the brave young girl who lost her life to a preventable tragedy, aims to crack down on dangerous loopholes in our current child protection laws.
The Laken Riley Act will strengthen background check requirements for individuals working with children, increase penalties for those who endanger the welfare of minors, and improve communication and coordination between law enforcement agencies and child welfare organizations. By prioritizing the well-being of our most vulnerable citizens, this law sets a new standard for child protection in America.
President Trump expressed his gratitude to the bipartisan group of lawmakers who worked tirelessly to pass this crucial legislation, emphasizing the importance of putting aside political differences to make meaningful progress on issues that truly matter. He also extended his heartfelt condolences to the Riley family, who have turned their grief into a powerful force for change.
As we move forward under the Laken Riley Act, let us remember the young lives we are working to protect and strive to create a safer, more just society for all. Today, we honor Laken Riley and all those who have been impacted by child abuse and neglect, and we recommit ourselves to building a brighter future for our children.
