AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would bar the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice from using federal funds to carry out civil immigration enforcement on public transit or at public transit hubs from June 11, 2026, through July 19, 2026. The limit would apply only in metropolitan areas hosting a 2026 FIFA World Cup match or FIFA Fan Festival. Enforcement would still be allowed in exigent circumstances. These include an imminent risk of death, violence, or physical harm (including terrorism), an imminent risk to national security, the immediate arrest or hot pursuit of someone posing an imminent public safety risk, or an imminent risk that evidence in an ongoing criminal case will be destroyed.
