Sanctuary City Funds Restricted: Local Approval Needed for Migrant Transport.
This law imposes strict limits on how federal funds from the FEMA Shelter and Services Program (SSP) can be used by jurisdictions, particularly those designated as "Sanctuary Cities." It prohibits using these funds to transport migrants or asylum seekers to another city or state unless local officials in the destination area provide written approval. This change aims to increase local control and transparency regarding the movement of individuals receiving federal assistance.
Key points
Federal funds cannot be used to transport migrants to a new jurisdiction without the written consent of that jurisdiction's local elected officials.
Grantees must confirm that the transported individual has confirmed support (like family, a sponsor, or an organization) waiting at the destination.
Any jurisdiction violating these transportation rules will become ineligible for future federal Shelter and Services Program grants.
