Bill > S1644

This bill, titled the "Stop Dangerous Sanctuary Cities Act," aims to ensure that state and local law enforcement can cooperate with federal officials to protect communities from violent criminals and suspected terrorists who are illegally present in the United States. The key provisions of the bill include: 1. Authorizing state and local law enforcement officers to act as agents of the Department of Homeland Security when complying with immigration detainers, granting them the same authority as federal officers. 2. Providing legal protections for state and local governments, as well as their officers and employees, against liability for actions taken in compliance with immigration detainers. 3. Defining "sanctuary jurisdictions" as those that prohibit or restrict the sharing of information about individuals' immigration status or compliance with immigration detainers. 4. Making sanctuary jurisdictions ineligible for certain federal grants, including Economic Development Administration grants and Community Development Block Grants, unless they comply with the bill's provisions.
