The Laken Riley Act, passed by the House, threatens constitutional protections for immigrants, particularly by enforcing expedited deportations on low-level crime charges.
Critics argue that the bill is crafted to dismantle constitutional safeguards, and it risks violating due process rights that should be due to all individuals.
Despite immigrant crime rates being lower than those of U.S.-born citizens, the act seeks to reinforce fear-based policies that favor mass deportation.
With significant bipartisan support in the House, the future of the Laken Riley Act in the Senate remains uncertain due to the filibuster hurdle.
