Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville, along with Senators Katie Britt and Ted Budd, introduced the Senate companion to the Laken Riley Act, a legislative initiative aimed at addressing crimes committed by illegal aliens. The Act, as outlined in a press release, mandates the arrest and detention of illegal aliens who engage in theft, burglary, larceny, or shoplifting offenses to prevent further criminal activities.

The bipartisan effort, spearheaded by Rep. Mike Collins in the U.S. House, garnered significant support and was passed with a vote of 251-170. The bill is a response to the tragic murder of Laken Riley by an illegal alien and seeks to enhance the safety and security of Americans by enforcing stricter immigration measures.

Senator Tuberville, a staunch advocate for border security, has been vocal about the need to prioritize national security. He has consistently called for measures such as building a border wall and reinstating policies like the Migrant Protection Protocols to curb illegal immigration and protect communities.

In a recent address, Senator Tuberville criticized President Joe Biden for neglecting to address the issue of Americans being killed by illegal aliens. Following the untimely death of Laken Riley, Tuberville has been actively pushing for legislative reforms to prevent similar tragedies in the future.

The introduction of the Laken Riley Act reflects Tuberville's ongoing efforts to address immigration challenges and enhance border safety. The Act, if passed, would mark a significant step towards tightening immigration enforcement and ensuring the well-being of American citizens.
