WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed the first bill of his new administration, and it is named after a slain Georgia nursing student whose name became a rallying cry during his White House campaign. Trump said that he appreciated the bipartisan support for his first piece of legislation since he took office on Jan. 20.

In a 64-35 vote, the Senate passed an immigration bill that mandates the detention of undocumented individuals accused of theft or burglary. The measure is now headed to the House, where it is expected to pass, probably becoming the first piece of legislation President Donald Trump signs into law.
