To require the Secretary of Homeland Security to take into custody aliens who have been charged in the United States with theft, and for other purposes, Sec. 3

Subsection (b)(2) of section 3 adds a new subsection (f) to section 236 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1226). It gives a state attorney general, or another authorized state officer, standing to sue the Attorney General or the Secretary of Homeland Security in a federal district court for injunctive relief, over an action or decision under that section to release an alien or to grant an alien bond or parole, where the state or its residents are harmed.

That sentence, in plain words

A state's top law officer may sue if a person is let go. The suit may also come from bond or parole being given.

What this is about

Bond is money put up so a person may go free while a case runs. Parole here means being let in or let out for a set reason.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
