It also restricts funding for cities that refuse to cooperate with DHS on release dates for individuals in local custody, which could indirectly affect communities with large undocumented populations.
“None of the funds made available by this Act may be used to provide Federal funds to a local jurisdiction that refuses to comply with a request from the Department of Homeland Security to provide advance notice of the scheduled release date and time for a particular illegal alien in local custody.”
