AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of Homeland Security to create a grant program for towns and cities where a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) processing or detention facility is operating or being built. A grant could not be more than the town's lost property tax revenue plus its public utility costs from the previous fiscal year. Grants would last 5 years and could be renewed for as long as the facility operates. Towns could use the money to make up for lost property taxes, to pay for running utility systems such as water, electricity, sewer, and garbage collection, or both. Two or more local governments could apply together for a joint grant.
