The Laken Riley Act, an immigration detention measure named after 22-year-old Georgia nursing school student Laken Riley, who was brutally murdered by an illegal alien from Venezuela last year, was enacted by the Republican-led House on Wednesday.

President Donald Trump is anticipated to sign the legislation into law this week after his return to the White House. Its goal is to crack down on illegal immigrants who commit nonviolent offenses such as theft, as well as ultimately inhibit violent and heinous crimes committed by illegals such as rape, assault, and murder.

All Republicans backed the motion, with 46 Democrats joining in. With 12 Democrat votes, the bill was approved by the Senate on Monday by a vote of 64-35.

A 26-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela named Jose Ibarra was convicted in November of kidnapping, assaulting, and murdering Riley as she was out on a run close to the University of Georgia campus in Athens. Police noted that when Riley’s body was found, her shirt had been pulled all the way up — and it was clear that he had attempted to sexually assault her at some point before or after her death.

Riley even tried to call 9-1-1 during the attack, but the only voice that the emergency operator heard was that of Ibarra. One of the charges against Ibarra is obstructing or hindering a person making an emergency telephone call, according to FOX Carolina.

Ibarra received a life sentence without the possibility of release.

Republicans and President Trump have highlighted how Ibarra was not placed under arrest after initially being detained by a Georgia police department for shoplifting, in addition to Immigration and Customs Enforcement not issuing a detainer for him.

The politician responsible for drafting the measure, Representative Mike Collins (R-Ga.), explained that ICE must now take custody of and detain illegal aliens who are charged, arrested, or found guilty of “burglary, theft, larceny, or shoplifting.”

“It’s bittersweet,” Collins said following the vote, noting that he had spoken to Riley’s relatives earlier that day. “For a young lady that wanted to dedicate her career and her life to saving lives, now her name will live on forever, and it will save lives.”

48 Democrats supported a previous version of the bill, which was approved by the House by a vote of 264-159. However, former President Joe Biden never expressed whether he backed the bill, which was enacted by the GOP-controlled House last year but later disregarded by the Democrat-led Senate.

“You now have a willing partner in the Senate that wants to confront real problems facing families, so that we don’t have more Lakens Rileys,” stated House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.). “You don’t have more murders of innocent people because of an open border. President Trump has already taken action to start reversing that open border,” he added.

Two amendments, one from Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas), which includes assault of a police officer, and another from Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), which includes acts that cause death or bodily harm to an individual, were also adopted by the Senate in order to expand the list of actions that result in mandatory detention of illegal aliens.

The Laken Riley Act’s passage coincides with a contentious discussion among Democrats over how to address Trump’s intentions for mass deportations and the illegal immigration crisis following their crushing 2024 election loss. Additionally, the Laken Riley Act’s only opponents were Democrats who tried to argue that the measure was overly harsh.

“Laken Riley casts out a net to cuff, arrest, and deport people who have committed minor offenses. In that sense, it is not a good thing,” said Representative Adriano Espaillat (D-N.Y.), the new chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

“Any discussion that should be had here around the issue of border security, around the issue of immigration,” he added, “should include something on Dreamers, farm workers, and families.”

Public School Teachers Deliver Unhinged Rants Over Trump Victory

"I have a daughter and three nieces and he'd rape them, and people are voting for him.”

Leftist indoctrination in our public K-12 classrooms has increasingly emerged as a pivotal issue in local and national politics, and the reaction of educators to Donald Trump’s victory in the election on November 5th has revealed that parents and taxpayers are right to be concerned. Trump’s win has unleashed a slew of unhinged ravings from radical leftist teachers who channeled their anger at the former, and now future, president into classroom tirades.

At Chino High School in Southern California, an English teacher couldn’t contain his rage when he saw a student wearing a Trump hat in class. “Just do the warm-up. I’m pissed,” the educator told his students. “People are voting for a freaking rapist and I’m pissed off. I don’t care, fire the hell out of me. I’m fighting for my daughter, my nieces, their rights.”

The rant, which was captured on video, continued for several minutes. “A child molester, huh? Vote for that freaking rapist,” he added. “I have a daughter, three nieces and he’d rape them, and people are voting for him. Christians are voting for him — bunch of losers, fake Christians.”

The teacher has been placed on leave, although hundreds of Chino High students have signed a petition and staged a walkout in his defense.

At Valley View High School, also located in Southern California, AP History teacher Maximiliano Perez treated his students to a similar diatribe about the horrors of Trump’s reelection.

“This shit [the election] is not a fucking game,” Perez said, explaining to his students that they could “end up in a concentration camp” and have “no human rights.”

The educator also complained that “black and brown men” didn’t vote for Kamala Harris, and posited that the reason they didn’t is due to internalized racism, since he knows “a lot of Latino men who wish they were white” — including the “fathers, uncles, and grandfathers” of his students.

“God, they wanna be White so bad but they never will be,” Perez says. “I hate that shit. I hate Latino men that oppress the women in their family, their own daughters. And then they turn around and vote for men who want to oppress them.”

Perez also attacked President-elect Trump directly, calling him “treasonous scum” and a “rapist, draft-dodging coward.” He implied that misogyny was responsible for Kamala Harris’s defeat, asking his class why people would vote for Joe Biden, a “geriatric, old Republican racist who’s running as a Democrat,” but would not cast ballots for Harris, who he described as having an “effective policy for the future” but also a “vagina,” a “uterus,” and “melanin.”

“Can you end up with no human rights? Yes. Will it happen to you? Most likely not. Which is a good thing, but has Donald Trump quoted Hitler? Yes. Does he embody some of Hitler’s ideas? Yes,” he told his students in the video.

Perez has also been placed on leave by his school district.

The impromptu classroom dissertations on Trump were not limited to the state of California.

On November 4th, the eve of the election, Courtney Lichtenwalner, a sixth grade ELA teacher at Lied STEM Academy in Clark County, Nevada, lectured her students about the flaws in Trump’s  “trickle-down” economic policies while giving “two thumbs up” to the economic policies of former President Barack Obama and President Joe Biden. She also told her class that Trump called for Liz Cheney to be assassinated and repeated the lie that “[Trump] also said there should be seven barrels of a gun shot at Liz Cheney, a republican senator, because she doesn’t agree with him.”

Lichtenwalner went on to lecture her 11- and 12-year-old students on the issue of abortion, claiming that Trump has said that “Kamala wants to kill babies” and blaming Trump for the death of a woman in Texas who died from sepsis after suffering a miscarriage. The teacher continued to rant about transgender prisoners receiving surgery. The entire diatribe was captured by one of her sixth-grade students on their school-issued laptop.

In the state of Connecticut, a special education teacher at Chapman Elementary School was placed on leave and eventually resigned after she made a viral video threatening citizens who had voted for Trump. In the recorded video threat, the teacher, Annie Dunleavy (pictured above), states, “Just because you won doesn’t mean you’re in the clear…Just please, please don’t test your gangster on me because you will end up on a stretcher. Gone — forever. So serious. Nobody f**king talks to me unless they want to (fight).”

“If people of color, and poor people, and gay people, and all the people I care about aren’t going to be safe in America,” she added, “Neither the f**k are you.”

And these are only the examples that we know of so far. Undoubtedly, many more educators have made similar comments that students were too frightened to record or share with their parents.

The disturbing and frankly dangerous reactions of these educators to Trump’s victory only serve to reinforce the very valid concerns that parents have about leftist indoctrination in their children’s public school classrooms.
