Save SBA from Sanctuary Cities Act of 2025
This bill requires the Small Business Administration (SBA) to relocate all its regional, district, and local offices out of jurisdictions classified as "sanctuary jurisdictions" - defined as areas with policies restricting sharing of immigration information with federal authorities or refusing to comply with certain immigration detainer requests. Offices must be moved within 60 days to a location outside a sanctuary jurisdiction, and operations must pause during relocation. The bill excludes jurisdictions with policies protecting crime victims or witnesses from being deemed sanctuary jurisdictions. It directly affects SBA offices (excluding headquarters) in 37 states and localities with such policies, mandating their physical relocation.
