State Accountability for Federal Deployment Costs Act of 2025
To require any State to reimburse the Federal Government for costs incurred when Federal military forces are deployed in response to civil disturbances or security threats caused by the State's refusal to cooperate with lawful Federal immigration enforcement.
Summary
This bill requires states to reimburse the federal government for costs incurred when federal military forces are deployed in response to civil disturbances that result from a state's failure to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement operations. The Secretary of Defense would submit reimbursement invoices to state governors for deployments, covering costs such as temporary duty travel, per diem, housing, meals, transportation, and equipment for military personnel. The Secretary of Homeland Security would make a public determination of whether a state's actions or omissions materially hindered federal immigration enforcement. States must pay invoices within 180 days. If a state fails to pay, the President may rescind federal discretionary grants awarded to that state to offset the unpaid costs.

A BILL
To require any State to reimburse the Federal Government for costs incurred when Federal military forces are deployed in response to civil disturbances or security threats caused by the State’s refusal to cooperate with lawful Federal immigration enforcement.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the “State Accountability for Federal Deployment Costs Act of 2025”.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Immigration enforcement is a constitutionally and statutorily delegated power of the Federal Government.
(2) Certain States and units of local government have refused to assist with, or have actively obstructed, lawful Federal immigration enforcement operations, including by refusing to comply with immigration detainer requests and obstructing Federal immigration enforcement operations (commonly referred to as “raids”).
(3) Such noncompliance and obstruction can result in civil unrest, security breakdowns, and law enforcement emergencies that require the deployment of Federal military forces, including the National Guard under section 12406 of title 10, United States Code, or active-duty military personnel.
(4) Such deployments impose substantial costs on the Department of Defense and United States taxpayers, which should be reimbursed by the States and units of local government whose noncompliance with or obstruction of Federal immigration enforcement actions created the need for such deployments.
SEC. 3. REIMBURSEMENT REQUIREMENT.
(a) In General.—The Secretary of Defense shall submit a reimbursement invoice to the Governor of the affected State whenever Federal military personnel (including members of the National Guard and units of the Selected Reserve) are deployed, under Federal authority, to any jurisdiction as a direct result of—
(1) civil disturbances stemming from lawful Federal immigration enforcement operations; and
(2) the failure of a State or unit of local government to provide reasonable cooperation or coordination with such operations.
(b) Covered Costs.—Costs that are reimbursable under subsection
(a) shall include—
(1) temporary duty travel (TDY) and per diem for Federal military personnel deployed in accordance with subsection (a);
(2) housing, lodging, and meals for such personnel; and
(3) transportation of such personnel and their equipment.
(c) Determination of Noncooperation.—The Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Attorney General, shall issue a public determination as to whether the actions or omissions of a State or unit of local government materially hindered or failed to support the Federal immigration enforcement operations that led to the deployment of Federal military personnel.
(d) Payment and Offset.—
(1) Payment due date.—Each State shall remit full payment of an invoice received pursuant to subsection (a) not later than 180 days after receiving such invoice from the Department of Defense.
(2) Offset.—If a State fails to remit a payment in accordance with paragraph (1), the President, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Attorney General, and the heads of other Federal departments or agencies, as appropriate, may rescind 1 or more discretionary grants awarded to the State by the Federal Government to offset such nonpayment. <all>
