Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : This provision marks a significant shift from current law, which primarily limits state involvement to information sharing and coordination with federal authorities.
46% : The legislation would also grant state attorneys general new powers to sue federal immigration authorities in federal court if they believe detention requirements aren't being followed.
40% : States could bring legal challenges if they can demonstrate harm of at least $100 to the state or its residents, and courts would be required to expedite these cases.
