President Donald Trump is poised to sign the first bill of his new administration. It's named after a slain Georgia nursing student whose name became a rallying cry during his White House campaign.

The strict measure, named for a 22-year-old Georgia nursing school student who was murdered by an undocumented immigrant, has divided Democrats.

Laken Riley Act in US sparked concerns over the treatment meted out to illegal immigrants, including those from India, in the United States. The Bill was passed in the House days after Donald Trump was sworn in as the US President.
