What this bill would do

This bill, titled the ``No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities Act'', targets sanctuary jurisdictions. It defines a sanctuary jurisdiction as any State or political subdivision that restricts the exchange of citizenship or immigration status information or refuses to comply with specific Department of Homeland Security detainer requests. Under this Act, such jurisdictions would lose eligibility for Federal funds intended to benefit aliens without lawful status. These benefits include food, shelter, healthcare, legal services, and transportation. The Secretary of Homeland Security is required to submit an annual report listing jurisdictions that failed to comply with specific requests.
