Denial of Federal Funds for Impeding Immigration Detainers
This bill aims to withhold federal funding from states and local governments that hinder the transfer of detained individuals to immigration authorities. This means local authorities will need to cooperate with federal immigration services to avoid losing important financial resources, which could impact public services.
Key points
States and local governments that do not cooperate with immigration authorities may lose access to federal funds.
Local law enforcement will be required to provide information about detained individuals and hold them at the request of immigration authorities.
Local subdivisions within a sanctioned state may apply for federal funds directly, bypassing the state.
