On Friday, the Senate voted to advance a bill that would significantly increase the number of undocumented immigrants subject to mandatory detention and give right-wing judges more power.

The Laken Riley Act is named after the 22-year-old Georgia woman who was murdered last year by a Venezuelan migrant in the country illegally.
