Rep. Roy’s statement on passage of the Laken Riley Act into law
Jan. 29, 2025

Rep. Roy issued the following statement on Wednesday afternoon:

“I want to thank President Trump for moving quickly to sign the Laken Riley Act into law today.  This common sense bill makes it mandatory for more criminal aliens, like Laken Riley's killer, to be detained and removed from the U.S.  I am particularly pleased the bill includes the SUE Act — which I introduced last Congress with my friend Dan Bishop - to provide states with legal standing to sue the federal government when it fails to enforce immigration law.

I wish I could have been present for the signing to thanks the bill’s lead sponsor Mike Collins (R-GA), Laken Riley’s family, and in particular my friend Alexis Nungaray for their courage to fight for these reforms to take place after their personal tragic losses.  The legislation is an important step in the process to reclaim our borders and restore public safety, American sovereignty and the rule of law, but our work continues.   Now, Congress needs to act right away to provide the Trump administration with resources to secure the border and conduct more deportations.”

Rep. Chip Roy
Representative Roy reintroduces the Border Safety and Security Act

Americans have suffered for four years under the worst border security crisis in recent American history. 
“The American people have endured the worst border crisis in recent history for the past four years due to the Biden Administration's willful refusal to secure the border,” Congressman Roy said at the introduction. “Millions of illegal aliens are now in the country and we will feel the impacts of this disaster for years to come."

"U.S. Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA) yesterday led 42 bicameral Republican colleagues in a letter urging President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to work with Congress to root out abuses in their administration’s unaccompanied migrant children program and stop the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)’s attempted cover-up of the crisis. More than 500,000 unaccompanied migrant children have crossed the southwest border under the Biden-Harris administration, while cartel trafficking activity surged an estimated 2,500 percent."
