Statements over time

Laken Riley Act: detaining migrants charged with theft (2024–2025)

• VoteMar 7, 2024 (On passage of H.R. 7511 (passed 251–170)): voted Yea House roll call 66, 118th Congress
• VoteJan 22, 2025 (On passage of S. 5 (passed 263–156)): voted Yea House roll call 23, 119th Congress

Two House passage votes on the Laken Riley Act: the 2024 House bill (H.R. 7511) and the 2025 Senate-passed bill (S. 5), which added provisions letting states sue the federal government over immigration enforcement. The texts differ, so opposite votes would not be counted as a change.
