Show full summary
- Families and people unlawfully present: Would make jurisdictions ineligible for federal funds used to benefit people unlawfully present, including food, shelter, health care, legal services, and transportation.
- State and local governments: Would face loss of federal funding for programs that assist unlawfully present individuals unless they share immigration-status information and comply with detainer requests. Funding restrictions would begin on the earlier of 60 days after enactment or the first day of the next fiscal year.
- Department of Homeland Security and Congress: The Secretary of Homeland Security would have to submit a report to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees within one year and then annually listing jurisdictions that failed to comply.

Sanctuary cities could lose federal funds
If enacted, a city or state that blocks sharing immigration-status info or refuses certain Homeland Security detainer or release requests would be labeled a "sanctuary jurisdiction" (except for policies protecting victims or witnesses). Those places would be ineligible for federal money they plan to use for people in the U.S. without lawful status. The ban would cover funds for food, shelter, health care, legal help, and transportation. It would start 60 days after enactment, or on the first day of the next fiscal year, whichever comes first. Homeland Security would report yearly to Congress which places do not comply.
