Bill > HR2056

This bill would prohibit the District of Columbia from enacting or maintaining any laws, policies, or practices that prevent local government entities or officials from sharing immigration status information with federal, state, or local government agencies. Specifically, the bill would require DC officials to comply with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requests related to immigration detainers and notifications about the release of individuals, effectively ending any "sanctuary" policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. The term "sanctuary jurisdiction" generally refers to local governments that limit their assistance to federal immigration authorities, often to protect undocumented immigrants from potential deportation. This legislation would mandate that DC fully cooperate with federal immigration enforcement efforts by requiring the sharing of citizenship and immigration status information and complying with DHS detainer and notification requests under sections 236 and 287 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
