House Republicans are preparing to call a vote within weeks on the “No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act” — legislation that would target jurisdictions that do not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement priorities.

The upcoming GOP bill would in effect deny a broad range of federal funding to jurisdictions that don’t cooperate with the Department of Homeland Security — which is the case for many Democratic-led cities, counties and states. A version of the bill passed the House last year with 12 Democrats joining a united Republican conference.

What is a sanctuary city?
Just a moment...
Quote:
These cities, counties, and states have laws, ordinances, regulations, resolutions, policies, or other practices that obstruct immigration enforcement and shield criminals from ICE — either by refusing to or prohibiting agencies from complying with ICE detainers, imposing unreasonable conditions on detainer acceptance, denying ICE access to interview incarcerated aliens, or otherwise impeding communication or information exchanges between their personnel and federal immigration officers.
A detainer is the primary tool used by ICE to gain custody of criminal aliens for deportation. It is a notice to another law enforcement agency that ICE intends to assume custody of an alien and includes information on the alien's previous criminal history, immigration violations, and potential threat to public safety or security.
