This bill would prohibit federal funds from being used for congressional earmarks, which are targeted spending provisions, directed toward states or local governments that are classified as "sanctuary jurisdictions." A sanctuary jurisdiction is defined as any state or local government that has laws or policies restricting officials from sharing immigration status information with federal authorities or from complying with Department of Homeland Security detainer requests. The bill includes an exception for information about individuals who come forward as crime victims or witnesses. The legislation would take effect beginning in fiscal year 2026 and apply to all subsequent fiscal years, potentially affecting federal funding allocations to numerous cities and counties across the country that have adopted sanctuary policies.
