U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto is urging bipartisanship on immigration at the dawn of the new Trump administration.

Kelly led 12 of his colleagues in a letter to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) on Wednesday morning that pleaded with the GOP to work on a bipartisan basis rather than ramming through the party’s plans on its own.

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.

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.

An amended version of the Laken Riley Act passed through the Senate Monday night with bipartisan support in a vote of 64 to 35.

Alabama’s junior senator planted her flag and impressed politicos, pundits, and constituents alike when she built a historic bipartisan coalition supporting her strong bill that combats both illegal immigration and rampant crime.

President Trump is one step closer to signing the immigration-related legislation into law after the GOP-controlled U.S. Senate passed the Laken Riley Act, making it the first piece of legislation to pass the upper chamber of the new Congress.

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.
