The Laken Riley Act aims to overturn Supreme Court precedent and give states the ability to sue the federal government.

The bill has passed the House and is moving forward in the Senate with bipartisan support.

It would give states new authorities to sue to overturn decisions to release individual immigrants.

Some Democrats want changes to the bill before a final vote.

The bill authorizes state lawsuits to seek court-ordered visa bans against so-called “recalcitrant countries” that won’t accept an immigrant eligible for deportation in the state.

The stakes are especially high for the provisions authorizing state lawsuits.

If the bill ultimately becomes law, that provision, and possibly others, will likely be challenged in court.
