welcome back. dealing with the millions of undocumented migrants that crossed the southern border is donald trump s number one priority. and last night the senate lent crucial support to that plan — passing, with democrat votes the laken reilly act — that is a bill that will force law enforcement to hold undocumented migrants who are accused of crimes. handing president trump an early win on his signature issue is not where the democratic leadership want to be. but there are democrats, especially in the key swing states, who believe that is why they lost in 2024. but how democrats respond more broadly to that agenda is open to question. 18 states have today filed a lawsuit against his executive order to end birthright citizenship claiming it violates the 14th ammendment of the constitution. there will be other legal challenges. yesterday local law enforcement in chicago said they would not be joining federal immigration officials on a targeted round—up of illegal migrants.
