No Funding for Sanctuary Cities: New Immigration Rules and Detentions
This act aims to tighten immigration laws by preventing cities and states from restricting cooperation with federal authorities on immigration enforcement. It introduces financial penalties for so-called sanctuary cities that do not cooperate and modifies rules for detaining and deporting individuals suspected of immigration violations. Citizens may experience changes in public safety and local immigration policies.
Key points
Cities and states that do not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement will lose access to certain federal funds.
Local authorities will be prohibited from preventing their officers from cooperating with federal immigration services or sharing information with them.
Rules for detaining immigrants by federal agencies have been changed, including extended detention times and conditions for bond release.
Victims of crimes committed by immigrants released from custody despite federal detainer requests may sue states or local governments.
