The Laken Riley Act, named for the slain nursing school student who was attacked and killed by a Venezuelan citizen who had entered the U.S. illegally, is the first legislative win of Trump's second term.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed the first bill of his new administration, and it is named after a slain Georgia nursing student whose name became a rallying cry during his White House campaign.

The bill, which has divided Democrats, would require law enforcement to detain noncitizens who commit primarily theft-related crimes.
