Bill overview
This bill would prevent states and local governments that are considered "sanctuary jurisdictions" from receiving Community Development Block Grants. A sanctuary jurisdiction is defined as one that limits information sharing with federal authorities regarding immigration status or hinders cooperation with requests from the Department of Homeland Security. The bill clarifies that a state or locality won’t be considered a sanctuary jurisdiction simply for refusing to share information about victims or witnesses of crimes. This legislation aims to restrict funding to areas with policies perceived as hindering immigration enforcement.
