Boosts funding for local police programs and shifts some money from immigration enforcement.
This bill would set aside $45 billion for local justice grants. It would also move funds previously meant for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to a program that helps local police departments hire officers. It would also make it easier for smaller police departments and Tribal governments to get these hiring grants by waiving some rules. These changes aim to support local law enforcement efforts across the country.
Today, Section 100052 of Public Law 119-21 allocates funds to the Secretary of Homeland Security for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for removal proceedings, available until September 30, 2029. Section 90003 does not currently include a $45 billion appropriation for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program. If this bill passes, funds from Section 100052 would be reallocated to the Attorney General for the COPS Hiring Program. These funds would be available until September 30, 2030, with waivers for smaller agencies. Additionally, $45 billion would be set aside for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program for the government's budget year 2025, available until September 30, 2029.
