Trump Signs Laken Riley Act
Surrounded by Laken Riley’s family, President Donald Trump signed the Laken Riley Act into law.
“We’ve gathered this afternoon to take another historic action… In a few moments, the Laken Riley Act will become the very first bill that I proudly sign into law as the 47th President of the United States,” he said.
The legislation, named after Augusta University nursing student Laken Riley, would mandate the government “detaining” illegal aliens “charged with theft or burglary.”
Athens-Clarke County Superior Court Judge H. Patrick Haggard found illegal alien Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, guilty of murdering Riley.
According to Fox News, the NYPD arrested Ibarra “a year after he entered the U.S. in August 2023 and was ‘charged with acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17 and a motor vehicle license violation.’”
“This horrific atrocity should never have been allowed to happen — and as president, I’m fighting every single day to ensure that such a tragedy never happens again,” Trump proclaimed.
