Denial of Federal Funding for Non-Compliance with Immigration Detainers
This act aims to withhold federal funding from states and local governments that do not cooperate with immigration authorities. If local laws hinder the sharing of information about detained individuals or their temporary custody at the request of federal authorities, those areas may lose access to funds. This could impact federally funded projects and services in those communities.
Key points
States and local governments that fail to comply with federal immigration detainer requests will lose federal funding.
This includes timely sharing of information about detained individuals and holding them for up to 48 hours at the request of immigration authorities.
Local subdivisions within a non-compliant state may still apply for federal funds directly.
