Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, holds a poster with photos of murder victims Sarah Root and Laken Riley as she speaks on Capitol Hill, Feb. 27, 2024, in Washington. House Republicans have passed a bill that would require federal authorities to detain unauthorized immigrants who have been accused of theft, seizing on the recent death of Laken, a nursing student in Georgia. The bill sends a rebuke to President Joe Biden’s border policies just hours ahead of his State of the Union address. However, the nine-page bill had little chance of being taken up in the Democratic-controlled Senate. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein, File)
