Washington – On the first day of Donald Trump's presidency, the US Senate passed a draft law on Monday, which would require the expansion of mass detention for immigrants who were charged or arrested for crimes.
In a 64-35 vote, 12 Democrats joined the Republicans to send the draft law, p. 5, known as the Riley Act sheet, to the final passage due to two changes agreed by senators.
A change from Senator of Texas Gop, John Cornyn, would add the attack by a law enforcement officer as a criminal offense that requires mandatory detention.
Another amendment from Senator Joni Ernst from Iowa would also require mandatory requirements for “any crimes that lead to death or serious physical injuries for another person”.
If the measure is adopted by the house, it will probably be one of the first laws signed by Trump, an early victory, after organizing a presidential campaign, the mass deportations of immigrants in the country without adequate legal approval.
Trump is said to sign 10 executive orders in order to start his immigration distance on the southern border.
The legislation is named after the 22-year-old Riley sheet, a nursing student who was murdered by a man who has illegally entered the country and was previously charged for shop theft.
The measure would not only significantly expand the detention of immigrants who are arrested in the measure or charged with crimes, but also give the public prosecutors a general discretion to take advantage of the federal immigration policy if they are enacted in the law.
Immigration lawyers and experts have warned that the measure could have far -reaching consequences, e.g.
They also argue that the law would not only affect people without papers, but also initiate some immigrants with legal status and would have the potential to disturb the exhibition of visas on the international stage.
