New bill would stop federal money for 'sanctuary' cities and states.
This bill would stop federal money from going to cities and states that have 'sanctuary' policies. These policies limit how local governments share immigration status information or cooperate with federal requests. These places would lose federal funds meant to help people who are in the U.S. without legal immigration status. This would affect services like food, shelter, and healthcare.
Currently, some states and local governments with 'sanctuary' policies may receive federal funds that they use to provide benefits to individuals present without lawful immigration status. If this bill passes, these jurisdictions would no longer be able to use federal funds for such benefits, including food, shelter, and healthcare.
