The Department of Homeland Security estimated that to enforce the law, ICE would need an additional 110,000 detention beds, 10,000 more enforcement and removal operations personnel, and 7,000 new government attorneys to handle immigration proceedings.

Laken Riley's death sparked calls for immigration reform here in Georgia and nationwide. Georgia lawmakers have been on the front lines in the fight to pass tougher immigration laws.
