End Sanctuary Cities: Federal Cooperation and Funding Loss

This act aims to compel local authorities to cooperate with federal immigration agencies. If a city or state fails to cooperate, it risks losing access to significant federal funds, potentially impacting local projects and public services. Citizens might experience changes in the availability of certain federally funded programs.
Key points
Local and state authorities will be required to cooperate with federal immigration agencies in detaining individuals suspected of being unlawfully present.
Cities and states that do not cooperate (known as "sanctuary jurisdictions") will lose access to federal funds for economic development and housing.
The act protects local officials from legal liability for cooperating with federal authorities on immigration matters, but not for violating civil rights.
An exception to the "sanctuary jurisdiction" rule applies if an unlawfully present individual comes forward as a victim or witness to a crime.
