Blocking Federal Funds for Jurisdictions Not Cooperating on Immigration Enforcement.

This bill aims to prohibit federal financial assistance to states and local jurisdictions that fail to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, specifically regarding detainers and notification of release. If a local jurisdiction is found to be non-compliant, it will become ineligible to receive federal funds. The funding ineligibility will last for a minimum of one year until compliance is certified by the Attorney General.
Key points
Funding Cutoff: Jurisdictions that do not comply with federal requests (detainers or release notifications) or specific immigration statutes will become ineligible for Federal financial assistance.
Attorney General Identification: The Attorney General is required to annually identify jurisdictions that are not in compliance and report these determinations to Congress.
Minimum One-Year Penalty: Ineligibility for funding lasts for at least one year, and reinstatement requires official certification of compliance by the Attorney General.
