Bill > S1068

This bill aims to ensure that state and local law enforcement officers are permitted to 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. Granting state and local law enforcement officers the authority to act as agents of the Department of Homeland Security when complying with detainers issued by the department, and providing legal protections for such actions. 2. Defining "sanctuary jurisdictions" as states or political subdivisions that prohibit or restrict the sharing of information about the citizenship or immigration status of individuals, or compliance with Department of Homeland Security detainers. 3. Making sanctuary jurisdictions ineligible for certain federal grants, such as those from the Economic Development Administration and Community Development Block Grants, unless they cooperate with federal immigration enforcement efforts. The bill is intended to encourage state and local governments to work with federal authorities to address issues related to illegal immigration and public safety.
