Rep. Roy Introduces Bill to Cut All Federal Funding for Sanctuary Cities

Legislative Progress
While this bill has strong support among conservative House members, it lacks the bipartisan support needed to pass a divided Congress and would likely face legal challenges over its broad funding cuts.
Key Points
Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
Life & Work
The bill aims to eliminate sanctuary policies that currently shield undocumented immigrants from certain federal enforcement actions. By pressuring local governments to cooperate fully with ICE detainers and allow federal interviews in jails, undocumented people living in sanctuary jurisdictions would face a much higher risk of detention and deportation. The broad scope of the funding cutoff would create strong incentives for even reluctant cities to comply.
