Bill overview
This bill, the Ending Sanctuary Cities Act of 2021, aims to limit federal funding to state and local governments that don't fully cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. Specifically, it defines ‘sanctuary city’ as jurisdictions that violate federal immigration laws, such as by prohibiting officials from communicating with Homeland Security or restricting compliance with detainer requests. If a jurisdiction is deemed ineligible, it will be barred from receiving federal financial assistance for the following fiscal year. The bill also protects law enforcement officers who comply with detainer requests from potential retaliation.
