Democrats are squabbling over their immigration stance as Trump returns to power.

A fast-moving immigration bill is showing how deeply divided Democrats have become on the thorny issue.

Republicans made the first bill of the new Congress the Laken Riley Act, a bill designed to crack down on unauthorized immigrants accused of nonviolent crimes.

The Laken Riley Act would require ICE to detain unauthorized immigrants arrested for nonviolent crimes including “burglary, theft, larceny, or shoplifting” It would also empower state-level officials to sue the federal government to overturn decisions to release individual migrants.

The bill doesn’t currently include any funding to help ICE carry out these widespread detentions.
