Bill > HR7252

This bill, titled the "Restoring Community Trust Act of 2026," proposes to repeal section 642 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, which is codified at 8 U.S.C. 1373. The bill's proponents argue that this section improperly compels state and local governments to share information with federal immigration authorities, infringing on their constitutional authority to manage their own internal operations and potentially undermining trust between residents and local institutions. They believe that repealing this section will restore a constitutional balance, reduce legal uncertainty, and allow state and local governments to foster better community relations without hindering the federal government's ability to enforce immigration laws through its own means.
