States push to sue ICE agents

States push to sue ICE agents

Some states in the U.S. are trying to make new laws that would let people sue ICE agents if they think their rights were violated.

This is because some people believe ICE agents have been acting badly, and there's no good way to hold them accountable right now.

Illinois already passed such a law, but the federal government is trying to stop it, saying it goes against the U.S. Constitution.

Other states like California and New York are thinking about making similar laws.

Some lawyers and experts think this could be a big change in how the legal system works, but others think there might be problems with these new laws.
