HR 6608 United States House · 119th Congress

SHIELD Act of 2025

The SHIELD Act of 2025 withholds federal funding from states or local governments that arrest, detain, or prosecute federal officers for lawful immigration enforcement actions. It directly affects jurisdictions (like cities or counties) that interfere with federal immigration enforcement, such as by blocking ICE operations. The law requires the Attorney General and DHS to determine violations, then blocks all federal grants and contracts for the affected jurisdiction during the fiscal year. Funding withheld is reallocated to compliant jurisdictions, and restoration requires written assurances that interference will stop.
