Small Business ICE Disruption Fund Act
To establish a Fund to provide grants to businesses affected by Federal immigration enforcement, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill establishes a Small Business ICE Disruption Fund to provide federal grants to small businesses that suffered revenue losses due to federal immigration enforcement actions. Eligible businesses must be located in areas where immigration enforcement occurred within the past year and demonstrate at least 25 percent revenue loss related to that enforcement, and cannot operate more than 15 locations or be publicly traded. The bill appropriates $200 million for fiscal year 2026 and authorizes the Small Business Administration to award grants on a first-come, first-served basis, with grant amounts equal to the verified revenue loss up to a maximum of $1 million per business. The law requires the SBA to verify applicant information through tax returns, business identifiers, and government databases to prevent fraud. Businesses receiving grants must certify that their losses resulted from immigration enforcement and that they have not received compensation from other sources.
