One of the first bills to reach President Trump's desk will be the Laken Riley Act.

On Monday night, the Senate is predicted to pass an amended version of the Laken Riley Act, which will then be sent back to the House for further consideration.

The legislation, which has twice surpassed the 60-vote threshold for the legislative filibuster this month, is poised to be among the first pieces of legislation to reach President Trump's desk after being passed by Congress.

The bill, introduced in the new Congress by Sen. Katie Britt and Rep. Mike Collins, was named in honor of an Augusta University nursing student who tragically passed away on the University of Georgia's campus in February.

In November, Jose Ibarra, a 26-year-old illegal immigrant, was convicted of 10 counts, including felony murder, and was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

The measure would mandate ICE to detain and deport illegal immigrants who have committed theft, burglary, or shoplifting, while granting states the authority to sue the federal government for failing to enforce immigration laws.

Last week, the Senate added a Republican amendment that expanded the list of crimes triggering ICE detainment to include the assault of law enforcement officers. On Monday afternoon, the upper chamber will vote on whether to add "Sarah's Law" as an amendment. This legislation, led by Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, requires ICE to detain illegal immigrants charged with killing or seriously injuring another person.

An expected vote on the immigration bill is around 6 p.m. in the upper chamber.

The Senate will need to approve the final version of the measure as amended by the House.

The bill's prioritization over Trump's swearing in on Monday was due to the expectation that the new president would make immigration law enforcement a top priority in his administration.

On his first day in office, Trump's administration has disclosed several actions he intends to take, with many of them focusing on immigration. Specifically, officials announced on Monday that he would sign an executive order ending birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants, along with other measures aimed at addressing the border crisis.
