No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act

S 707, the "No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act," defines "sanctuary jurisdictions" as states or localities that restrict sharing immigration status information with federal authorities or refuse to comply with federal detainer requests (except for crime victims/witnesses). The bill prohibits such jurisdictions from receiving federal funds intended to provide services like food, shelter, healthcare, legal aid, or transportation to undocumented immigrants, starting 60 days after enactment or the next fiscal year. It requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to annually report to Congress on jurisdictions failing to comply with federal immigration requests. This bill directly affects state and local governments with specific immigration policies, withholding targeted federal funding as a consequence.
