I thought they cared about states rights?
How are they able to even ban states from passing laws

I’m not 100% sure about actually enforcing states to create laws, but given what’s happening in my city rn I would imagine, if this passes, it gives federal agencies and private companies the ability to legally ignore any city and state regulations that might be passed.
Police in my city got caught violating a very weak ordinance that regulates how facial recognition is supposed to be used.
Since WaPo exposed them, they’ve allegedly paused using the tech. However, the tech is provided by a private company, and the city can’t enforce their regulations on the state police and ICE agents that are still using the tech with zero oversight.
