Save SBA from Sanctuary Cities Act of 2025

Fewer SBA offices in 'sanctuary' areas

If enacted, the Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator would first publish that an office is in a “sanctuary jurisdiction.” That office would then have to move to a non‑sanctuary area within 120 days of that public notice. If it is not moved by day 120, the office would stop operations until it relocates, and employees would be reassigned to a non‑sanctuary SBA office in the same state, or elsewhere if none exist. The office head would have 5 days after the deadline to give a written reason; the Administrator would remove the head if the reason is late or not sufficient. The SBA would also be barred from opening any new covered office in a sanctuary jurisdiction. Covered offices would include SBA regional, district, and local offices (not headquarters) and SBA components funded by Congress. A sanctuary jurisdiction would mean a local government that limits sharing immigration‑status information or bars compliance with certain Department of Homeland Security detainer requests.
