Cooperation with ICE Act
HR 6851, the "Cooperation with ICE Act," prohibits sanctuary jurisdictions from receiving federal funding under FEMA's Shelter and Services Program (SSP). A sanctuary jurisdiction is defined as any state or local government that blocks sharing of immigration status information or refuses to comply with lawful DHS requests regarding immigration holds or detainee notifications. The bill requires FEMA to revise SSP eligibility rules to deny funding to such jurisdictions while protecting local officials from legal liability for complying with DHS immigration requests. This directly affects cities and counties with policies restricting immigration cooperation, altering federal funding access based on immigration enforcement practices.
