What this bill would do

This bill is called the "No HUD Funding for Sanctuary Cities Act". It would make sanctuary jurisdictions ineligible to receive grant funds from the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. A sanctuary jurisdiction is defined as any State or political subdivision with policies that restrict sharing immigration status information or complying with certain Department of Homeland Security requests. These rules would apply to grant funds distributed 180 days after the Act is passed. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development would work with the Secretary of Homeland Security to identify these jurisdictions.
