Massachusetts S1675 prohibits sanctuary policies and penalizes non-compliance with state funds.

Massachusetts S1675 amends Chapter 147 of the General Laws to define "sanctuary policy" and prohibit state, county, and local governmental entities from enacting such policies. The bill defines sanctuary policies as directives that limit or prohibit law enforcement agencies from cooperating with federal agencies to verify immigration status, grant unlawful aliens lawful presence, or restrict cooperation with detainers. Non-compliant entities become ineligible for grants from the executive office of public safety and security and state funds until the policy is repealed.
