Bill Summary
A BILL To prohibit Federal funds from being made available to any State or local government that arrests or prosecutes Federal law enforcement officers for performing duties related to the enforcement of Federal immigration law.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the SHIELD Act of 2025, aims to prevent states and local governments from interfering with federal immigration enforcement by prohibiting federal funds from being given to any state or local government that arrests, detains, or prosecutes federal law enforcement officers for performing their duties related to enforcing federal immigration laws. The bill asserts that the federal government has exclusive authority over immigration and that state or local actions impeding these federal duties undermine the rule of law. The Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, will determine if a jurisdiction has engaged in such prohibited conduct, making them ineligible for federal financial assistance, which includes grants, contracts, and other forms of financial aid, for the fiscal year. Funding withheld will only be restored if the offending conduct ceases and assurances are given that it will not recur.
