Politicizing a death is so left wing of you.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) suggested that the Laken Riley Act would not pass in the Senate as the Democratic senators haven't shown any "concern" for the matter.
Paul appeared on The Story with Martha MacCallum on Thursday to share his prediction of whether or not the House bill in honor of Laken Riley, an Augusta University nursing student who was allegedly murdered by Venezuelan illegal immigrant Jose Ibarra, will pass in the Senate after it passed in the House. This legislation would require immigration officials to detain immigrants charged with crimes.
"I think it will get unanimous Republican support, but we're one short - one vote short. I think the Democrats will be either unanimous or nearly unanimously against this," Paul said. "They have voted in the past that they don't care. We talked about deporting people or keeping people in jail and there has been no concern on the other side about trying to tackle people with criminal records or people who have actively engaged in crime."
