The House of Representatives is poised to vote on the Laken Riley Act on Tuesday after it easily passed last year.

The House will vote at 1 p.m. Tuesday on the Laken Riley Act as its first piece of legislation of the 119th Congress. Reintroduced by Georgia Rep. Mike Collins, a Republican, the legislation pins Laken Riley's death on the Biden administration's open-border policies and grants power to attorneys general to sue the federal government if they can show their states are being harmed over failure to implement national immigration policies.

The U S House of Representatives passed its first bill of the new year Tuesday, which would require federal immigration authorities to detain illegal migrants charged with theft-related crimes
