AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar federal financial assistance to any state or local government that arrests, detains, or prosecutes a federal law enforcement officer, or otherwise interferes with or obstructs such an officer, for actions taken in the lawful performance of federal immigration enforcement duties. The U.S. Attorney General, consulting with the Secretary of Homeland Security, would decide whether a state or local government has done this. Starting in fiscal year 2026, a government found to have done so would lose eligibility for federal financial assistance for that fiscal year, and the withheld money would go to other states and local governments. Funding would be restored only after the Attorney General certifies that the conduct has stopped and the government has given written assurances it will not happen again.
