YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Donald Trump signed the Laken Riley Act into law Wednesday, empowering immigration officers to detain unauthorized immigrants when they're arrested for crimes.

It's the first law Trump signed during his second term after campaigning on sealing the U.S.-Mexico border and pursuing mass deportations to stop what he's called an "invasion" of migrants into the country.
