S 2311

This bill aims to hold states accountable for the costs associated with deploying the National Guard or active-duty military to address civil unrest or security threats that arise from their refusal to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. If a state hinders or obstructs federal immigration efforts, leading to a federal deployment, the state will be required to reimburse the Department of Defense for the associated expenses. The bill establishes a process for determining when a state’s actions contributed to the deployment and outlines a payment schedule with potential consequences for non-payment, including the suspension of federal grant funding.
