On Wednesday January 22nd, I voted for, and the U.S. House of Representatives passed, the Laken Riley Act, which included my legislation with Senator Joni Ernst – Sarah’s Law – as an amendment. This important bill now heads to President Trump’s desk for his signature and will truly save countless innocent lives that would have otherwise been lost due to blatant loopholes in federal law.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) voted for, and the U.S. House of Representatives passed, the Laken Riley Act, which includes Feenstra-sponsored Sarah’s Law as an amendment to detain and prosecute illegal immigrants who harm or kill American citizens.
Feenstra has introduced Sarah’s Law every Congress since his first election.

HULL, IOWA — Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) helped introduce the Security First Act, which would fully fund Operation Stonegarden — a grant program that supports law enforcement activity to enhance border security — and call on the U.S. Secretary of State to consider designating the Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
When I’m out on the road traveling on my 36 County Tour, Iowans tell me their legitimate concerns that illegal immigrants are voting in our elections. It’s a concern that I share as well, and I agree that we must ensure that only American citizens vote in American elections. Secure elections are a vital component of our representative form of government.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) voted for, and the U.S House of Representatives passed, the Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act, which would deem illegal immigrants convicted of sex crimes or domestic violence offenses inadmissible to the United States and, therefore, deportable.

Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) voted for, and the U.S. House of Representatives passed, the Laken Riley Act in honor of 22-year-old Laken Riley who was murdered by an illegal immigrant while out on a run last year. This legislation specifically requires Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to take custody of illegal immigrants who commit theft, burglary, larceny, or shoplifting.
