The Laken Riley Act marks a shift for Democrats on immigration after their bruising defeat in the 2024 elections. A teen fatally shot a female student and wounded another at a Nashville high school. President Trump announced a private sector investment of up to $500 billion to build artificial intelligence infrastructure.

The US Congress has passed a bill requiring undocumented immigrants who are arrested for theft or violent crimes to be held in jail pending trial. The bill, named after Laken Riley - a Georgia nursing student murdered last year by a Venezuelan man - passed the House of Representatives a day after it was approved by the Senate.
