Summary
Trump signed the Laken Riley Act into law, expanding mandatory detention for undocumented immigrants accused of theft-related crimes and allowing state attorneys general to sue over immigration enforcement.
Despite warnings from civil rights groups and some Democrats about racial profiling and due process violations, the bill received bipartisan support.
Critics like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Cory Booker argue that Democrats who backed it succumbed to conservative fear-mongering, potentially harming immigrants and undermining civil rights.
not sure on that but they are not my senators so I can’t vote for their primary opponents when it comes up.
Kelly and Gallego are my senators. The most unfortunate thing for us here in AZ is this is kind of the best we got, the better options are losing their primaries, Krysten Sinema was replaced by Gallego, AND the Republican opponents were, iirc, Kari Lake (insanity) and Martha McSally (also insanity).
