Immigrants who are in the country illegally and get arrested for crimes like theft, shoplifting, burglary, or assaulting a police officer would have to be held in custody by federal immigration authorities rather than released while their case is pending — this applies even if they haven't been convicted yet, just charged. Separately, state governments would gain new power to sue the federal government if immigration officials release someone from custody, don't properly screen people entering the country, or fail to deport someone who's already been ordered removed — but only if the state can show it or its residents were harmed, including financial costs as small as $100.
