Louisiana's Senate, controlled by the Republican party, has recently passed legislation that mirrors a controversial Texas law, allowing state and local law enforcement agencies to arrest and detain individuals who have entered the U.S. illegally. This legislative move, spearheaded by members of the Louisiana Freedom Caucus, including Rep. Roger Wilder III and Sen. Valarie Hodges, has sparked significant attention. The bill, referred to as the 'What is a Woman Bill' by Rep. Wilder, unanimously passed out of committee and is now heading to the House floor for further consideration. Additionally, the border legislation, similar to Texas', passed the Louisiana State Senate with a vote of 28-11 and is also advancing to the House.
