This bill would block states and local governments with “sanctuary” policies from getting Community Development Block Grants. A place counts as a sanctuary jurisdiction if it limits officials from sharing information about a person’s immigration status, or from honoring certain lawful requests from the Department of Homeland Security to hold or notify about someone’s release. There is an exception so victims and witnesses who come forward are not affected by information‑sharing or detainer requests tied to their reports. To receive these grants, a grantee must state it is not a sanctuary jurisdiction and will not become one during the grant period .
