No Community Development Block Grants for Sanctuary Cities Act
To prohibit sanctuary jurisdictions from receiving community development block grants.
Summary
This bill would define a "sanctuary jurisdiction" as a state or local government that has policies restricting or prohibiting its officials from sharing immigration status information or complying with federal immigration detention requests. The definition would exclude jurisdictions that simply have policies protecting victims and witnesses of crimes. It would make sanctuary jurisdictions ineligible to receive community development block grants and require existing grantees to certify they will not become sanctuary jurisdictions during their grant period.
