Summary of Bill HR 2056

Bill 119 HR 2056, also known as the "District of Columbia Immigration Compliance Act," is a piece of legislation that aims to require the District of Columbia to adhere to federal immigration laws. The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives and is currently under consideration.

If passed, this bill would mandate that the District of Columbia must cooperate with federal immigration authorities and comply with all federal immigration laws. This includes sharing information with federal agencies, such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and honoring detainer requests for individuals who are in the country illegally.

Supporters of the bill argue that it is necessary to ensure public safety and national security by enforcing immigration laws at the local level. They believe that the District of Columbia should not be able to operate as a sanctuary city and ignore federal immigration laws. Opponents of the bill, however, argue that it could lead to racial profiling and discrimination against immigrant communities. They believe that local law enforcement should focus on protecting and serving all residents, regardless of their immigration status. Overall, the District of Columbia Immigration Compliance Act is a controversial piece of legislation that raises important questions about the balance between state and federal authority, as well as the treatment of immigrants in the United States. It remains to be seen how this bill will progress through the legislative process and what impact it may have if enacted into law.
