What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryTies federal grants to immigration cooperation
This bill would cut off certain federal grants to state and local governments that don't share immigration status information with federal authorities or don't comply with federal immigration detention requests. It would also shield those governments from lawsuits if they follow these federal detention orders.
How it affects you
This would directly affect state and local governments and their ability to receive federal funding for economic development and community development projects. For people living in areas where local governments have policies limiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, it could change how local police and officials interact with federal immigration authorities.

Stop Dangerous Sanctuary Cities Act
This bill addresses issues related to state and local government cooperation with federal immigration enforcement efforts, including by prohibiting uncooperative jurisdictions from receiving certain grants.
Specifically, the bill prohibits a sanctuary jurisdiction from receiving grants under certain Economic Development Assistance Programs and the Community Development Block Grant Program. Under the bill, a sanctuary jurisdiction is a state or local government that has in effect a statute, policy, or practice that prohibits or restricts (1) information sharing with another government entity about an individual's immigration status, or (2) compliance with a lawfully issued Department of Homeland Security (DHS) detainer request or notification of release request.
When complying with a DHS-issued detainer, a state or local government shall be deemed to be acting as an agent of DHS with all authority available to DHS officers and employees. The bill also limits the legal liability of a state or local government for complying with a detainer.
