To prohibit the use of Federal funds for congressional earmarks targeted to a State or unit of local government that is a sanctuary jurisdiction.

Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Bill 118 hr 10557, also known as the "Prohibition of Federal Funds for Sanctuary Jurisdictions Act," aims to prevent the use of Federal funds for congressional earmarks that are targeted towards states or local governments that are considered sanctuary jurisdictions. Sanctuary jurisdictions are defined as areas that limit their cooperation with federal immigration enforcement efforts.

The bill seeks to ensure that Federal funds are not used to support policies that go against federal immigration laws and enforcement efforts. By prohibiting the use of earmarks for sanctuary jurisdictions, the bill aims to discourage these areas from implementing policies that may hinder immigration enforcement and potentially pose a threat to national security.

If passed, this legislation would have significant implications for sanctuary jurisdictions, as they would no longer be able to receive Federal funds through congressional earmarks. This could potentially impact the ability of these jurisdictions to fund certain programs and services, as well as serve as a deterrent for other areas considering adopting sanctuary policies. Overall, Bill 118 hr 10557 represents a significant effort to address the issue of sanctuary jurisdictions and their impact on federal immigration enforcement. It reflects a broader debate within Congress about the balance between state and local autonomy and federal immigration enforcement priorities.

I think this bill is good cuz it stops money going to sanctuary cities. I live in MI and don't want my tax dollars going to places that don't follow the law. It's about time they do something about it!
