As President Trump Touts Laken Riley Act, Remember: Soto Voted Against it.

February 23, 2026

This morning, President Trump honored Angel Families, including the family of Laken Riley, who was brutally murdered by a criminal illegal immigrant. The President also touted the success of the Laken Riley Act in keeping Americans safe.

Remember: If out of touch Democrat Darren Soto got his way, the bipartisan, commonsense Laken Riley Act that gets criminals off the streets would never have become law.

“When given the chance to keep Floridians safe, out of touch Democrat Darren Soto instead sided with the radical left and voted to let more innocent Americans like Laken Riley be murdered in cold blood. Voters will never forget this betrayal.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole
