Increased State Authority in Immigration Enforcement
This act grants state attorneys general the power to sue federal immigration agencies if they believe immigration detention and removal requirements are violated, causing harm to the state or its residents. This means states will have more influence over immigration policy and can react more quickly to federal decisions they perceive as negatively impacting their communities, including financially.
Key points
States can sue the federal government for immigration violations if they incur financial harm exceeding $100.
Courts will expedite these cases, leading to faster decisions on immigration matters.
Changes affect inspections, apprehension and detention of aliens, visa issuance, and parole.
