Britt, Senate colleagues continue push to pass Laken Riley Act

U.S. Sen. Katie Britt is continuing to push for Senate Democrats to allow a vote on bipartisan legislation that would mandate the deportation of illegal aliens who commit certain crimes.

 

The U.S. Senate has twice delayed voting on the Laken Riley Act. The legislation would require U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to arrest illegal aliens who commit theft, burglary, larceny or shoplifting offenses and would mandate that these aliens be detained until they are removed from the United States so they cannot commit further crimes.

Tuberville, Britt back legislation to repeal Biden admin emissions tax — 'Joe Biden has waged war on American energy'

U.S. Sens. Tommy Tuberville and Katie Britt recently joined in introducing legislation to repeal the Natural Gas Tax included in the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

 

The bill is sponsored by U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and supported by 11 other lawmakers. It would remove new taxes on energy companies that the lawmakers believe will most negatively affect low-income families by driving up energy costs.

Sen. Britt seeks speedy passage for Laken Riley Act

Alabama Senator Katie Britt was one of eleven Republican senators to sign a letter to the chair of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, Dick Durbin, asking him to schedule a mark-up of the Laken Riley Act. Britt introduced the Laken Riley Act to the Senate on March 12 and has been one of the bill’s primary advocates, alongside Senator Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina.

 

The letter describes the bill as a “common-sense measure that would help to avoid future tragedies resulting from the failure to enforce and follow immigration law.”
