This legislation, titled the District of Columbia Federal Immigration Compliance Act of 2025, aims to ensure the District of Columbia adheres to federal immigration laws. Its primary purpose is to prevent D.C. from operating as a sanctuary jurisdiction by prohibiting policies that hinder cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. Specifically, the bill forbids any District statute, ordinance, policy, or practice that restricts the sharing of an individual's citizenship or immigration status information with federal, state, or local government entities. Furthermore, it mandates that the District government comply with lawful requests from the Department of Homeland Security , including those for immigration detainers or notifications regarding the release of individuals.
