WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) applauded President Trump for signing S.5, the Laken Riley Act, into law:
"The Laken Riley Act is the first immigration enforcement bill enacted in nearly two decades. President Trump signing this bill into law is a win for every American, the rule of law, and the safety of our communities. This bill makes it clear: illegal aliens who commit crimes will face the full consequences, and states will have the power to hold the federal government accountable for its failed immigration policies. Under President Trump’s leadership, we are taking decisive action to protect our citizens, secure the border, restore justice, and ensure that those who break our laws are held responsible."
