States gain power in immigration law enforcement
This bill allows state attorneys general to demand that the federal government more effectively enforce immigration laws, particularly regarding the arrest, detention, and removal of individuals who violate the law. If the federal government fails to act, states may gain authority to handle these matters themselves or file a lawsuit. This means state authorities could have a greater say in immigration policy within their region.
Key points
State attorneys general can request the federal government to enforce immigration laws more effectively.
If the federal government fails to comply, it may authorize state officials to perform immigration-related duties.
States can file a civil action in court if the federal government does not take action.
