States to Reimburse Federal Costs for Immigration-Related Deployments

This new law could impact state and local government finances if they fail to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. If such non-cooperation leads to civil unrest requiring federal military deployment, the states will be billed for these intervention costs. Failure to pay could result in the loss of federal grants.
Key points
States and local governments that do not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement may be charged for the costs of deploying federal military forces (including the National Guard) in response to civil disturbances.
Reimbursable costs include travel, housing, meals, and transportation for military personnel.
If a state fails to pay, the President may withhold federal discretionary grants to offset the debt.
