Sanctuary City Elimination Act: New Rules for Local and Federal Cooperation

This bill requires local governments to cooperate with federal immigration authorities or face the loss of significant federal funding. It aims to ensure that local police can assist in detaining individuals suspected of being in the country illegally without fear of personal lawsuits.
Key points
Local officers complying with immigration detainers receive federal legal protection and immunity.
Jurisdictions that restrict immigration info sharing lose eligibility for various federal grants.
Funding for schools, environmental projects, and community development is at risk for non-compliance.
State attorneys general can sue to withhold funds if a released individual commits a crime elsewhere.
