This legislation defines a "sanctuary jurisdiction" as any state or local government that prohibits or restricts its entities from sharing immigration status information with federal authorities or complying with lawful detainer requests from the Secretary of Homeland Security. An exception is made for policies protecting victims or witnesses of criminal offenses, ensuring such policies do not automatically classify a jurisdiction as a sanctuary. Beginning 60 days after enactment or the start of the next fiscal year, these sanctuary jurisdictions would become ineligible to receive federal funds . This ineligibility specifically targets funds intended for the benefit of aliens present in the United States without lawful status, covering services such as food, shelter, healthcare, legal aid, and transportation. Additionally, the bill mandates the Secretary of Homeland Security to submit an annual report to Congress, identifying all states and political subdivisions that have failed to comply with federal detainer requests within the preceding year.
