Bill > HR4483

This bill requires states to reimburse the federal government for costs incurred when federal military forces (including the National Guard) are deployed in response to civil disturbances caused by a state's lack of cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. The bill asserts that some states and local governments have refused to assist or have actively obstructed federal immigration enforcement operations, such as by not complying with immigration detainer requests. When such non-cooperation leads to civil unrest or security issues that necessitate federal military deployment, the state will be invoiced for the associated costs. These reimbursable costs include temporary duty travel, per diem, housing, meals, and transportation expenses for military personnel. The Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Attorney General, will determine whether a state's actions materially hindered immigration enforcement. States must pay the invoice within 180 days, and if they fail to do so, the President may offset the unpaid amount by rescinding discretionary federal grants to that state. The bill frames this as a measure to hold states financially accountable for creating situations that require federal military intervention and to ensure proper cooperation with federal immigration enforcement efforts.
