The legislation, which requires the federal detention of unauthorized immigrants charged with theft, has become a central issue in Georgia’s upcoming Senate race.

Video transcript Mike Collins: I wrote the Laken Riley Act after she was murdered. Her family begged for help, but Jon Ossoff voted no. I looked Jon in the eye, he stared right through me. Didn’t lift a finger. With his re-election coming, Jon switched his vote. That’s not a senator, that’s a coward. I’m Mike Collins and I approve this message because if you can’t stand for Laken Riley, you shouldn’t stand a chance for re-election.

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
