() Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., will attend the bill signing of the Laken Riley Act at the White House, a source confirmed to .

“I believe a secure border creates a more secure nation and it’s just common sense,” Fetterman said in a statement. “I believe a stronger border is fully compatible with my commitment to immigration. I also believe our nation should protect our Dreamers. I believe this nation is tired of leaders in D.C. prioritizing fighting over governing. I believe Pennsylvania elected me to fight for a better commonwealth and to work with both sides of the aisle.”

The law will require Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain anyone who is charged with or found guilty of a crime that is larceny, theft, shoplifting or similar.

The law gets its name from a Georgia college student who was killed by Jose Ibarra, a man in the country illegally and accused of shoplifting, but was not detained by ICE.

The bill passed each chamber of Congress with Bipartisan support, though far more Republicans voted in favor of it than Democrats.

Opponents of the law argue it strips people accused with crimes of due process, but proponents say that’s only constitutionally guaranteed to citizens.
