Prohibits federal funds from being made available to states or local governments that arrest or prosecute federal officers for lawful immigration.
The SHIELD Act of 2025 aims to safeguard federal immigration enforcement by prohibiting federal funds from being made available to states or local governments that arrest, detain, or prosecute federal law enforcement officers for lawful immigration enforcement activities. Federal funds withheld under this act will be restored only if the Attorney General certifies that the state or local government has ceased the offending conduct and provided assurances that such interference will not recur.
