The House has passed a bill to require the detainment of unauthorized migrants accused of theft and violent crimes. The Laken Riley Act would be the first law for Trump to sign.

In an interview aired Wednesday night, Trump said he may withhold aid to California until the state adjusts how it manages its scarce water resources. He falsely claimed that California’s fish conservation efforts in the northern part of the state are responsible for fire hydrants running dry in urban areas.

Last year, Laken Riley was out on one of her daily runs when she was kidnapped and murdered by an illegal alien, Jose Ibarra. She was an Augusta University nursing student. He is an illegal immigrant from Venezuela. That is a stark contrast.

The wish list carries added weight as the GOP is poised to control both chambers of Congress and the White House once Donald Trump takes office.
