State of the Union Drama: From Hecklers to Pins, What Happened at SOTU

TL;DR Summary
Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene has been handing out Laken Riley pins ahead of the State of the Union, despite the murdered student's parents declining an invite to attend. The parents of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student allegedly murdered while jogging, declined an invitation from Rep Mike Collins. Republicans have used Riley's death to criticize the Biden administration's border policies, with the House passing the Laken Riley Act requiring the detention of any migrant committing burglary or theft. Democrats have criticized the bill as a partisan stunt, while Republicans argue it would help prevent future tragedies.
