Prohibiting Funding for Sanctuary Jurisdictions and Protecting Officials

This bill aims to stop federal funding for cities and states that limit cooperation with immigration authorities. This means these areas could lose access to funds for shelter and services. Additionally, officials who cooperate with immigration authorities will be protected from legal liability.
Key points
Localities that do not cooperate with immigration authorities may lose federal funds for homeless and needy assistance programs.
Officials who share immigration status information or cooperate with the Department of Homeland Security will not face legal liability for these actions.
The bill defines 'sanctuary jurisdiction' as a place that restricts information sharing about immigration status or cooperation with federal immigration services.
