Tennessee Republicans have proposed legislation that would bar undocumented immigrants from filing most lawsuits in state courts.

Critics argue that this measure could undermine constitutional protections and deny justice to vulnerable populations.

The bill would prohibit immigrants from suing local governments for negligence, filing medical malpractice or product liability claims, or seeking compensation from the state's crime victims fund.
