The U.S. Senate voted Monday to pass the Laken Riley Act, just hours after President Donald Trump was sworn in.
The bill would require federal immigration authorities to detain illegal migrants who commit theft-related crimes in the U.S. The legislation would also allow states to sue the Department of Homeland Security for harm caused to their residents because of illegal immigration.
The bill passed in a 64-35 vote. Only 12 Democrats voted in favor of the bill.
