The Laken Riley Act, named for the slain nursing school student who was attacked and killed by a Venezuelan citizen who had entered into the U.S. illegally, is the first legislative win of Trump's second term.

Donald Trump is set to sign the Laken Riley Act on Wednesday as the president approves a series of initiatives meant to tackle his goal of curbing illegal immigration.

The Laken Riley Act aims to expand the federal government's mandate to detain immigrants who are in the country illegally.
