Summary
The legislation would prohibit any jurisdiction designated as a sanctuary from obtaining Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) money. It targets local governments that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, cutting off a source of federal housing and development assistance. Supporters say the measure uses funding to encourage compliance with immigration laws, while opponents warn it could harm community projects.
