Sanctuary City Elimination Act

Summary

The bill labels any state or local government that refuses to share immigration status information or honor DHS detainer requests as a “sanctuary jurisdiction.” It treats officials who comply with those detainers as federal agents, gives them immunity from state lawsuits, and makes sanctuary jurisdictions ineligible for certain federal education and environmental grants. It also lets a state sue to withhold those grants if a released immigrant later commits a crime in another state.
