To establish a Federal grant program to reimburse certain States for the costs incurred and damage caused by widespread deployment of Federal immigration officials, and for other purposes.

This bill would require the Department of Housing and Urban Development to set up, within 60 days, a grant program to reimburse certain States for costs and damage from increased immigration enforcement operations. It would move $139,575,630,000 from funds given to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection under Public Law 119-21 to pay for the program. Minnesota, California, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, North Carolina, and Oregon could apply, and States receiving grants would pass the money to tax-exempt nonprofits and to affected small businesses. The nonprofits could use the money to support schools, health care providers, local governments, and commissions that investigate and record the events. The Government Accountability Office would report on each State's costs within 30 days, and the program would end after 3 years.
