The U.S. House Wednesday passed legislation that greatly expands mandatory detention requirements of immigrants charged and arrested on petty crimes, among other crimes

In a 263-156 vote, 46 House Democrats voted with Republicans to send the bill, S. 5, to President Donald Trump’s desk to be signed into law. The passage of the measure gave Trump — who campaigned on an immigration crackdown and promised mass deportations — an early victory for a president not even a full week into his second term.

Senate passage gives Trump a legislative victory on his first day back in the White House and jump-starts his sweeping agenda to curb illegal immigration.

On Monday evening, just hours after Donald Trump’s inauguration, the Senate passed the Laken Riley Act, an extreme bill that would allow for the deportation and detention of any undocumented immigrant merely suspected of a nonviolent crime. And they did it with the help of 12 Democrats.

Ten Democrats in the Senate voted Friday to advance the Laken Riley Act, teeing up a final vote in the upper chamber. The Democratic supporters were Sens. Ruben Gallego (Ariz.), Mark Kelly

The GOP-led bill, which got some Democratic support, will head back to the House for approval before it goes to Trump for his signature.

The Senate on Monday passed the contentious Laken Riley Act in a 64-35 vote. The bill would require Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain and potentially deport undocumented immigrants arrested for — but not necessarily convicted of — various crimes, including shoplifting, burglary and theft.
