Prohibiting Schools from Sheltering Undocumented Individuals

This new act prevents public elementary schools, secondary schools, and higher education institutions from receiving federal financial aid if their facilities are used to house individuals not officially admitted into the United States. This means educational facilities cannot serve as temporary shelters for immigrants, potentially impacting the availability of shelter for those in need and how local and state authorities manage migration crises.
Key points
Schools and universities will lose federal funding if their facilities are used to shelter individuals not admitted to the U.S.
An exception is made for short-term emergency shelter (up to 72 hours) due to specified disasters like fires or floods.
The act aims to separate educational functions from immigrant housing functions.
