(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.
