Laken Riley Act Overwhelmingly Clears Senate Hurdle

“The Senate on Thursday overwhelmingly cleared a key procedural hurdle toward passing the Laken Riley Act, a bill aimed at curbing crime by migrants, in the first vote of the year by the chamber,” The Hill reports.

“Senators cleared the first vote 84 to 9, with 33 Senate Democrats — including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) — joining with every Republican present to vote yes.”
