HR 205 United States House · 119th Congress

No Congressional Funds for Sanctuary Cities Act

This bill prohibits federal funds from being allocated as congressional earmarks (specific funding requests) to states or local governments designated as "sanctuary jurisdictions." A sanctuary jurisdiction is defined as any state or local area with policies that restrict sharing immigration status information or refuse to comply with Department of Homeland Security detainer requests. The law includes an exception for policies allowing cooperation with DHS when individuals are victims or witnesses in criminal cases. It applies to earmarks starting in fiscal year 2026, not general federal funding.
