No Federal Funds for Sanctuary Cities Act
This act aims to stop federal funding for states and cities that do not cooperate with federal authorities on immigration matters. This means if your local government is considered a "sanctuary jurisdiction," it could lose access to certain funds, potentially impacting local public services.
Key points
The act prohibits the use of federal funds for states and local governments identified as "sanctuary jurisdictions."
A "sanctuary jurisdiction" is defined as a place that restricts sharing information about immigration status or fails to comply with Department of Homeland Security requests for detainers or release notifications.
An exception is made for policies that protect victims or witnesses of crimes, ensuring they are not deemed "sanctuary jurisdictions" solely for this reason.
