Lets local governments get more federal money for immigration enforcement.
This bill would let state and local governments receive more federal grant money if they help enforce immigration laws. This would increase their annual Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants by up to 10%. This applies if they have an agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to carry out immigration enforcement duties. This change would take effect for the government's budget years 2027 through 2033.
Today, state and local governments receive Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants, but there isn't a specific rule to increase these grants if they have a 287(g) agreement for immigration enforcement. After this bill, states and local governments with such agreements would be able to apply for and receive an increase of up to 10% in their annual grant funding, with $20,000,000 set aside each year from 2027 to 2033 to cover these increases.
