The Senate has yet to take up a bill that would toughen penalties for illegal aliens who re-enter the country after being deported, almost five months after the measure passed the House in a bipartisan vote.

In June, the House approved “Kate’s Law,” a Trump administration-backed bill that would raise the maximum prison sentence for illegal aliens caught re-entering the U.S. following deportation and increasing penalties for repeat offenders.

State prosecutors have indicted a Baltimore police officer for allegedly planting heroin in a suspects car at the scene of a crash, according to ABC News.

Americans whose loved ones have been killed by illegal aliens expressed devastation on Thursday after illegal alien Jose Garcia Zarate was found not guilty of murdering 32-year-old Kate Steinle.

President Trump responded Thursday to a California jury’s “disgraceful” decision to acquit an illegal alien accused of murdering Kate Steinle.

“A disgraceful verdict in the Kate Steinle case! No wonder the people of our Country are so angry with Illegal Immigration,” Trump said on Twitter Thursday night, just hours after a jury acquitted Jose Ines Garcia Zarate.

The Department of Justice is considering bringing federal charges against Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, the illegal immigrant acquitted Thursday of the murder of Kate Steinle.

Democratic California Rep. Jackie Speier slammed the verdict in the Kate Steinle murder trial and said the illegal immigrant in the case “shouldn’t be here.”

“I was deeply disappointed in the verdict, but I do respect the jury system. They probably had a difficult time establishing intent,” Speier said. “The fact that the Justice Department is now looking at whether it has options is worthy of our consideration.”
