Buried in the #Laken #Riley Act,
-- the controversial bill that would mandate the detention of undocumented immigrants accused of minor nonviolent crimes
-- is a provision which would authorize state attorneys general to bring lawsuits to force presidential administrations to deny visas to any particular country that isn’t accepting deportees.

That provision has attracted public criticism, but Republicans have been unmoved.

If Laken Riley becomes law
Bannon can enlist a right-wing state attorney general — like Ken Paxton of Texas — to bring a lawsuit designed to halt visas to, say,
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.
