What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Alien Removal Not Resort Stays Act," aims to end the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Shelter and Services Program. It stops all federal funds from being used for this program or any similar future programs starting on the date the act is passed. Additionally, any money left in the program that hasn't been spent yet will be moved elsewhere. These remaining funds will be merged into the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement account. The redirected money is intended for expenses related to enforcement, detention, and removal operations.

Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
- Redirection of funds to enforcement: The bill moves any leftover money from the Shelter and Services Program to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Section 3). This provides more money for necessary expenses related to enforcement, detention, and removal operations.
Potential Negative Impacts for People
- Termination of the Shelter and Services Program: The bill stops all federal funding for the Shelter and Services Program and any successor or similar programs (Section 2). This ends the availability of those specific federal funds.
