-- the controversial bill that would mandate the detention of undocumented immigrants accused of minor nonviolent crimes

people from India, which supplies many high-skilled tech workers.
Under the law, it’ll be perfectly plausible that a handpicked judge could stop the issuance of such visas.
⭐️“We’re definitely going to use it, and we’re going to get after attorneys general,”
Bannon told me when I contacted him to ask whether he sees the law as useful to him.

The version that passed the House requires the federal DHS bureaucracy to build billions of dollars in new infrastructure to cage any undocumented person *even accused* of petty theft, shoplifting, or several other property crimes. The mandatory indefinite detention provisions apply to anyone even arrested or charged—something we’ve never seen before
