The Laken Riley Act has more than enough votes to pass the Senate and overcome a filibuster, a procedural vote showed on Tuesday.

Dozens of Democrats joined all voting Republicans in expressing support for the bill, easily clearing the 60-vote threshold to prevent far-left senators from filibustering the bill. The legislation, named after a nursing student murdered last February by a Venezuelan illegal immigrant in Georgia, mandates that federal immigration authorities detain illegal immigrants suspected of theft or related crimes. It also allows states to sue the Department of Homeland Security for damages resulting from illegal immigration.

The Senate is expected to take an official vote on the bill next week, with Republican leaders likely sending it to the president's desk after Donald Trump takes office on January 20. Trump has repeatedly pledged to strengthen border security and criticized the Biden administration for overseeing record-high illegal border crossings.
