No Aid for Illegal Entry Act

This bill, titled the "No Aid for Illegal Entry Act," seeks to restrict the use of federal funds for certain immigration-related services. It specifically prohibits federal funds from being awarded to non-governmental organizations for providing legal services related to immigration proceedings, housing or sheltering individuals without lawful status, or transporting those who entered the United States unlawfully. An important exception is made for services provided to a minor , defined as an alien under the age of 18, meaning NGOs can still receive federal funds for these services if they benefit minors. Furthermore, the bill explicitly forbids the Department of the Interior , including its bureaus and agencies, from administering, managing, or contracting for these same services. The Department of the Interior is also prohibited from engaging in activities related to migrant resettlement , immigration enforcement, or immigration legal representation. Government agencies are mandated to ensure that NGOs receiving federal funds comply with these new prohibitions. This Act takes effect upon enactment and applies to all relevant funding agreements made thereafter.
