Justice for Victims of Sanctuary Cities and Fallen Law Enforcement Act of 2026
Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Summary
The bill lets victims of serious crimes—such as murder or rape—bring a damages lawsuit against a state or local government that refused to share immigration information or honor a DHS detainer. It also requires jurisdictions that accept certain federal grants to waive sovereign immunity in these cases and treats officials who follow detainers as federal agents. The measure aims to hold sanctuary policies accountable and strengthen cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities.
