Bill > HR3081

This bill, known as the "Law Enforcement Solidarity Act," aims to penalize jurisdictions that restrict law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration authorities by making them ineligible for certain federal funds. Specifically, starting 60 days after the act's enactment, any jurisdiction that the Attorney General determines has policies prohibiting or restricting government entities from assisting or cooperating with federal law enforcement officers (particularly in immigration matters) will be barred from receiving federal funds intended to benefit undocumented immigrants, such as funds for food, shelter, healthcare, legal services, and transportation. The Attorney General is required to submit an annual report to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees listing jurisdictions with such cooperation restrictions. The bill defines a "jurisdiction with law enforcement cooperation restrictions" as any state or local government that prevents officials from aiding, assisting, or responding to federal law enforcement officers, with a specific focus on immigration enforcement. The definitions of "alien" and "immigration laws" are drawn from the Immigration and Nationality Act, and "federal law enforcement officer" includes officers from the Department of Homeland Security.
