Alabama law enforcement

Alabama lawmakers advanced legislation that would allow local law enforcement to enforce immigration law, as conservative legislators push for increased alignment with the federal government's crackdown on immigration. The bill was dubbed "Laken Riley Act," named after the 22-year-old Augusta University student who was killed last year in Georgia by an undocumented immigrant.

The Alabama House of Representatives on Thursday approved enhanced legal protections for law enforcement officers. Representatives voted 75-26 for the bill that is backed by Republican Gov. Kay Ivey. The bill now moves to the Alabama Senate.
