Sacramento Bee ^ | February 01, 2025 | By Robin Epley

While President Donald Trump has issued numerous executive orders in the last 11 days, the Laken Riley Act, which Trump signed on Wednesday, marked the first piece of legislation he has put into law in his new term. The legislation is named for an Augusta University nursing student who was murdered last year in Georgia by an undocumented immigrant from Venezuela.

Don't look to the Sacramento Bee for wisdom--or even intelligence.

If you are an illegal alien , or legal alien for that matter, and you commit a crime and are arrested - you should be deported.

In fact, if you are a legal alien, that is already the law.

Seems pretty simple to me.

Obviously the hos, fags and lesbos at the Sack Bee don’t care about girls like Laken Riley who had a dream of becoming a nurse. The crap that works at that outhouse rag are not Americans. They kiss foreign ass every chance they get.

NOT a tragedy, but an atrocity.

The new Laken Riley Act requires federal authorities to detain undocumented immigrants charged, but not convicted, with assaulting law enforcement. But it goes dangerously farther by including lesser crimes such as burglary and theft — even if they have yet to be convicted.

LOL. This is the alleged "persecution" in the act? Detaining illegal aliens who are charged with burglary and theft???

They’re being prosecuted, not persecuted.

Maybe all illegal immigrants should move to Sacramento?

The disgusting callousness of this aside, he is not an immigrant. He is an illegal alien. He is also not undocumented. New York and the Biden Administration knew exactly who and where he was when they flew him from New York to tennessee.

Considering the free stuff he was getting from the government, he could also be called a hired assassin. Paid by the US government to kill an American citizen. It is a damn shame that the individuals who signed off on this man cannot be charged as accessories to murder.

They could move in with Robin. Maybe sharpen her pencils when she’s busy writing.
