Purpose and Summary

Chamber: House

Introduced date: 2025-01-03

Bill 119 hr 32, also known as the "No Sanctuary for Criminals Act," aims to prevent sanctuary jurisdictions from receiving federal funds if they provide benefits to undocumented immigrants. Sanctuary jurisdictions are cities or states that limit their cooperation with federal immigration enforcement efforts. Under this bill, any sanctuary jurisdiction that offers benefits to undocumented immigrants would be ineligible to receive federal funds that are intended to benefit these individuals. This includes funding for programs such as healthcare, education, and housing. Supporters of the bill argue that sanctuary jurisdictions should not be rewarded with federal funds if they are not fully cooperating with immigration enforcement efforts. They believe that providing benefits to undocumented immigrants encourages illegal immigration and undermines the rule of law. Opponents of the bill argue that it unfairly punishes immigrants and puts vulnerable populations at risk. They believe that sanctuary jurisdictions play an important role in protecting undocumented immigrants and fostering trust between immigrant communities and law enforcement. Overall, Bill 119 hr 32 is a controversial piece of legislation that highlights the ongoing debate over immigration policy in the United States. It will be important to closely monitor the progress of this bill as it moves through Congress.
