BLOC Act

Bill 119 hr 1984, also known as the "Alien Release Notification Act," aims to amend title 23 of the United States Code to restrict federal funding to states that do not have a system in place to inform the Secretary of Homeland Security about the release of certain aliens from custody or detainment. The bill is designed to enhance communication and cooperation between state and federal authorities in matters related to immigration enforcement.

Under this proposed legislation, states would be required to establish a process for notifying the Department of Homeland Security when certain aliens are released from custody under specific circumstances. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the withholding of federal funding to the state.

The primary goal of the bill is to ensure that federal immigration authorities are informed about the release of potentially dangerous individuals who may pose a threat to public safety. By establishing a notification system, the bill aims to improve coordination between state and federal agencies in addressing immigration-related issues. In addition to the notification requirement, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to immigration enforcement. Overall, the Alien Release Notification Act seeks to strengthen immigration enforcement efforts and enhance public safety by promoting better communication and collaboration between state and federal authorities.
