The No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act makes sanctuary jurisdictions ineligible for federal funds intended for aliens without lawful status.
The No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act defines a "sanctuary jurisdiction" as any state or political subdivision that restricts officials from sharing immigration status information or complying with detainers. Such jurisdictions become ineligible for federal funds for benefits like food, shelter, and healthcare for unauthorized aliens 60 days after enactment. Exceptions apply if officials do not share information about victims or witnesses of crimes. The Secretary of Homeland Security must report annually on noncompliant jurisdictions.
