No Grants for Sanctuary Cities: Community Development Funding Changes.
This new bill aims to stop federal community development grants for cities and states that limit cooperation with immigration authorities. This means some local projects, like housing or infrastructure development, might lose funding, impacting service availability and growth in those areas.
Key points
Cities and states that do not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement will lose access to community development funds.
The definition of a "sanctuary jurisdiction" includes places that restrict information sharing on immigration status or fail to comply with detainer requests.
An exception is made for policies that protect victims or witnesses of crimes from information sharing or detainer compliance.
