On the campaign trail, Republicans, led by President Donald Trump, ran on a platform of tougher immigration laws. Next week the U.S. House of Representatives will take up two measures that will address aspects of immigration reform, according to Politico.

One of the pieces of legislation is Kate's Law, which increase penalties for individuals who attempt to reenter the United States after having been deported.

Kate Steinle was killed last year in San Francisco by a person who been deported multiple times and continually returned to the U.S. As Politico notes, Trump mentioned Steinle's death often while campaigning.

The other piece of legislation to be considered addresses sanctuary cities. This legislation would lead to stricter penalties for localities that do not work with federal officials on enforcing national immigration laws.

Politico reports that the law, written by Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), would require municipalities to comply with federal officers to keep immigrants imprisoned in order to be held until they can be picked up for deportation.
