Rep. Mike Collins to Introduce ‘Laken Riley Act’ Requiring DHS Lock Up Illegal Aliens with Arrest Records

Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) is introducing the “Laken Riley Act” named after 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley who was murdered in Athens, Georgia, last month, allegedly by an illegal alien who had criminal charges against him in two states.

On Feb. 22, Riley was found murdered in a wooded area on the University of Georgia campus after she had gone for a morning run. The following day, 26-year-old illegal alien Jose Antonio Ibarra from Venezuela was arrested and charged with her murder.

Only months prior, Ibarra was issued a citation for shoplifting in Athens and was later issued a bench warrant for failing to appear in court on those charges.

Collins, who represents the district, will introduce the Laken Riley Act to the House Rules Committee on March 5. The legislation would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to take into custody illegal aliens arrested, charged, or convicted for burglary, theft, larceny, or shoplifting.
