No Community Development Grants for Sanctuary Jurisdictions.
This bill aims to stop federal community development grants for cities and states that limit cooperation with immigration authorities. This means some local projects, like housing construction or infrastructure improvements, might lose funding, affecting service availability and development in those areas.
Key points
Cities and states that do not cooperate with immigration authorities will lose access to federal community development grants.
The definition of a 'sanctuary jurisdiction' includes places that restrict information sharing on immigration status or do not comply with requests to detain individuals by immigration services.
An exception applies if an individual is a victim or witness to a crime – in such cases, cooperation with immigration authorities is not required to maintain grants.
