Law Enforcement Solidarity Act

HR 3081, the Law Enforcement Solidarity Act, restricts federal funding for jurisdictions that prohibit local law enforcement from cooperating with federal officers. Beginning 60 days after enactment, such jurisdictions become ineligible for federal funds intended to provide services like food, shelter, healthcare, legal aid, or transportation to undocumented immigrants. The bill defines a "jurisdiction with law enforcement cooperation restrictions" as any state or local government that blocks officials from assisting, aiding, or responding to federal law enforcement requests. This directly affects local governments with policies limiting collaboration with federal immigration enforcement. The law aims to link federal funding eligibility to cooperation with federal law enforcement on immigration matters.
