The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) commemorated the one-year anniversary of the Laken Riley Act, signed into law by President Trump on January 29, 2025. The legislation mandates federal detention for illegal aliens accused of theft, burglary, assaulting law enforcement, or crimes causing death or serious injury. Over 21,400 arrests were made under the law. The act is named after Laken Riley, a Georgia nursing student killed by an illegal alien from Venezuela linked to Tren de Aragua. Secretary Kristi Noem acknowledged the ICE efforts to remove violent criminals. The document lists convictions of 24 individuals from various countries, including charges of homicide, rape, sexual assault, drug offenses, and weapons violations. Details about the perpetrator’s prior arrests and release under previous administration policies were included.
