Following the Senate invoking cloture in a 61-35 vote, the legislation is on its way to Senate passage in the coming days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThis bipartisan, bicameral legislation will save lives, and it will help prevent another American family from feeling the pain Laken Riley\u2019s loved ones feel every day,\u201d\u00a0said Senator Britt.\u00a0\u201cI appreciate my colleagues on both sides of the aisle who came together to protect our communities. With today\u2019s strong vote, we are in the final sprint to getting the <em>Laken Riley Act<\/em> across the finish line, honoring her legacy and making America safer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The\u00a0<i>Laken Riley Act<\/i> would require U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain illegal aliens who commit theft, burglary, larceny, or shoplifting offenses so they cannot reoffend and commit further crimes. This legislation would also ensure states have standing to bring civil actions against federal officials who refuse to enforce immigration law or who violate the law.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Background:<\/strong> Senator Britt, with the entire Republican conference and Senators John Fetterman, D-Pa., and Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britt.senate.gov\/news\/press-releases\/u-s-senators-katie-britt-ted-budd-john-thune-john-fetterman-colleagues-introduce-laken-riley-act-in-119th-congress\/\"><span class=\"s3\">reintroduced the<i>\u00a0Laken Riley Act<\/i><\/span><\/a> in the 119th<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0Congress<i>.\u00a0<\/i>Following reintroduction,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.britt.senate.gov\/news\/press-releases\/u-s-senator-katie-britt-praises-vote-to-advance-bipartisan-laken-riley-act-urges-continued-senate-support-for-final-passage\/\"><span class=\"s3\">the Senate advanced<\/span><\/a>\u00a0the legislation on an initial bipartisan vote of 84-9. This allowed the Senate the opportunity to proceed to the legislation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On Monday, Jan. 13, 2025, the Senate voted on the motion to proceed to the <i>Laken Riley Act<\/i>, which passed overwhelmingly. This allowed the Senate to formally consider the bill.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s5\">On Friday, Jan. 17, the Senate held a vote to invoke cloture on the <i>Laken Riley Act.\u00a0<\/i>This required a minimum of 3\/5 votes to pass. Cloture was invoked by a vote of 61-35, which ensures the bill can proceed to passage. The final Senate vote on the\u00a0<i>Laken Riley Act<\/i>\u00a0will be held in the coming days. This will only require a simple majority to pass.
