The Laken Riley Act is named for a 22-year-old Georgia nursing school student whose murder last year by an immigrant in the country illegally became a flashpoint in the 2016 presidential campaign.

The bill would change federal law to require ICE to issue detainers and take custody of people in the U.S. illegally who commit theft-related crimes.

Last March , the House passed the bill on a 251 -170 vote, with 37 Democrats joining all Republicans in voting yes.
