Bill Summary

Stop Dangerous Sanctuary Cities Act This bill prohibits a sanctuary jurisdiction from receiving grants under certain Economic Development Assistance Programs and the Community Development Block Grant Program. A sanctuary jurisdiction is a state or political subdivision that has a statute, policy, or practice in effect that prohibits or restricts: (1) information sharing about an individual's immigration status, or (2) compliance with a lawfully issued detainer request or notification of release request. A state or political subdivision that complies with a detainer is deemed to be an agent of the Department of Homeland Security and is authorized to take actions to comply with the detainer. The bill limits the liability of a state or political subdivision, or an officer or employee of such state or political subdivision, for actions in compliance with the detainer.

AI Summary

This bill, the Stop Dangerous Sanctuary Cities Act, prohibits sanctuary jurisdictions (states or political subdivisions that restrict cooperation with federal immigration authorities) from receiving certain federal economic development and community development grants. The bill also deems state or local law enforcement officers who comply with federal immigration detainer requests to be acting as agents of the Department of Homeland Security, and limits their liability for such actions. Additionally, the bill defines what constitutes a "sanctuary jurisdiction" and outlines the process for reallocating federal funds away from such jurisdictions to other non-sanctuary state and local governments.
