Bill overview
This bill, the Justice for Victims of Sanctuary Cities Act of 2025, creates a legal pathway for individuals harmed by crimes committed by undocumented immigrants to sue state and local governments that have policies limiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. Specifically, it allows victims of felonies involving undocumented immigrants to seek compensation if a jurisdiction failed to comply with DHS requests for detention or notification. The bill also links a jurisdiction’s immunity from lawsuits to its acceptance of certain federal grants, and establishes a process for federal agencies to be substituted as defendants in related legal actions.
