Timeline

• Mar 18Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

Summary

**What it does:** This bill would prohibit certain recipients of federal homeland security grants from using that money for immigration enforcement activities. **Who it affects:** - State and local agencies that receive federal homeland security grants - Immigration enforcement operations at the state/local level - Immigrant communities in areas where local agencies currently use these grants for immigration purposes **What would change:** Recipients of these specific homeland security grants would need to use the federal money only for traditional homeland security purposes (like emergency preparedness, counterterrorism, etc.) rather than for activities like detaining undocumented immigrants or assisting with deportations. Agencies could still conduct immigration enforcement, but would need to fund those activities through other sources, not these particular federal grants. **Current status:** The bill is still in congressional committee and has not been voted on by the full House or Senate.
