Bill > S42

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. Specifically, the bill: 1. Grants state and local law enforcement officers the same authority as Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officers when complying with DHS detainers, and protects them from liability for actions taken in compliance with such detainers. 2. Defines "sanctuary jurisdiction" as any state or local government that prohibits or restricts the sharing of information about the citizenship or immigration status of individuals with federal, state, or local authorities. 3. Renders sanctuary jurisdictions ineligible for certain federal grants from the Economic Development Administration and Community Development Block Grants, and requires them to return any such funds they have already received. The bill intends to facilitate cooperation between federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies in addressing the presence of undocumented immigrants who may pose a threat to public safety.
