No Federal Funds for Sanctuary Jurisdictions

This act aims to cut federal funding for cities and states that do not cooperate with immigration authorities regarding information exchange on immigrant status or detentions. This means that local governments protecting individuals without lawful status may lose funds intended for their support, potentially affecting service availability in those regions.
Key points
Cities and states that restrict cooperation with immigration authorities will lose access to federal funds intended to benefit individuals without lawful status.
The definition of "sanctuary jurisdiction" includes places that do not share immigration status information or comply with Department of Homeland Security detainer requests.
An exception applies if an individual without lawful status is a victim or witness to a criminal offense; in such cases, cooperation with immigration authorities is not required to avoid losing funds.
