The bill would likely restrict how federal funds flow to local governments and organizations that don't fully cooperate with federal immigration enforcement efforts. It aims to protect taxpayers by potentially withholding federal money from cities or states that limit their police departments' involvement in immigration enforcement or that provide services to undocumented immigrants. The measure would affect local governments, law enforcement agencies, and communities that have adopted sanctuary policies limiting immigration enforcement cooperation.
