The House is set to pass the first bill of the 119th Congress with the Laken Riley Act.

On Tuesday afternoon, the House of Representatives will cast its first vote on federal legislation.

The Laken Riley Act, a bill honoring a nursing student killed by an illegal immigrant while jogging on the University of Georgia's campus, will be subject to a vote by lawmakers.

The bill proposes that federal immigration authorities detain illegal immigrants convicted of theft-related offenses and enables states to sue the Department of Homeland Security for any harm caused to their citizens due to illegal immigration.

Jose Ibarra, who was given a life sentence for Riley's murder, had previously been arrested but was never held by ICE agents, according to the agency.

Last year, the bill passed the House with bipartisan support, having been initially proposed by Rep. Mike Collins, R-Ga.

The bill was passed by a margin of 251 to 170, with all voting Republicans and 37 Democrats supporting it.

Despite being proposed in the Senate, it was not passed due to the control of the Senate by then-Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

The Laken Riley Act, sponsored by Rep. Mike Collins, holds the Biden Administration accountable for their role in these tragedies through their open border policies, requires detention of illegal aliens who commit theft and mandates ICE take them into custody, and allows a state to sue the Federal government on behalf of their citizens for not enforcing the border laws, particularly in the case of parole, as stated by House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., in his daily House floor lookout.

"When will Democrats finally decide to stop fighting against securing the border and protecting American communities?"

The Senate is also poised to vote on the bill this week.

This year, House Republicans have reintroduced several border security bills in preparation for their upcoming control of all Washington, D.C. power.

In the November elections, Republicans retained control of the House and gained control of the Senate. President-elect Donald Trump will be inaugurated on January 20th.
