No Federal Funds for Sanctuary Jurisdictions

This bill aims to prohibit federal funds from being used for earmarks directed at states or local governments that limit cooperation with immigration authorities. This means jurisdictions that do not share immigration status information or comply with Department of Homeland Security requests for detainers could lose specific federal funding. An exception is made for victims and witnesses of crimes.
Key points
