Specifically, the bill prohibits a sanctuary jurisdiction from receiving grants under certain Economic Development Assistance Programs and the Community Development Block Grant Program. Under the bill, a sanctuary jurisdiction is a state or local government that has in effect a statute, policy, or practice that prohibits or restricts (1) information sharing with another government entity about an individual's immigration status, or (2) compliance with a lawfully issued Department of Homeland Security (DHS) detainer request or notification of release request. When complying with a DHS-issued detainer, a state or local government shall be deemed to be acting as an agent of DHS with all authority available to DHS officers and employees. The bill also limits the legal liability of a state or local government for complying with a detainer.","displaySummary":"<p><strong>YVN Summary</strong></p>\n\n<p>State and local police who honor ICE detention requests would be treated as federal agents — giving them full DHS authority and shielding their governments from lawsuits; the federal government would step in as the defendant instead. Cities, counties, and states that have policies limiting cooperation with ICE on immigration detainers would be classified as 'sanctuary jurisdictions' and cut off from Economic Development Administration grants and Community Development Block Grants starting October 1, 2025. An exception preserves policies that protect crime victims and witnesses who come forward from being reported to immigration authorities. Funds pulled from sanctuary jurisdictions would be redistributed to non-sanctuary jurisdictions under the same grant formulas.</p>","status":"COMMITTEE_CONSIDERATION","topics":["TRANSPORTATION","ECONOMY","GOVERNMENT_OPERATIONS"],"introducedAt":"2025-06-10T00:00:00+00:00","latestActionAt":"2025-06-10T00:00:00+00:00","congressGovUrl":"https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/3881","accountabilityFlags":{"civil_liberties":["↑ Legal authority of state/local officers — expanded to full DHS enforcement powers when honoring ICE detainers","↓ Liability exposure for localities — eliminated for detainer-related seizures or detention of individuals","↓ Independent judicial remedy — narrowed; federal tort claims act becomes the exclusive plaintiff remedy"],"criminal_justice":["↑ Detention authority — broadened by allowing state/local officers to hold individuals under ICE detainers with federal agent status","↓ Accountability pathway for wrongful detention — narrowed by substituting the U.S. as defendant and capping remedies under FTCA"],"average_household_impact":["↓ Federal grant funding — reduced for households in sanctuary jurisdictions that lose CDBG and EDA development funds"]},"tldr":"Treats local police who cooperate with ICE as federal agents and cuts economic development grants to cities limiting immigration cooperation.","summaryStandard":null,"flagExplainers":{},"flagValence":{},"needsResummary":false,"displaySummaryHtml":null,"rawStatusText":"Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committees on Transportation and Infrastructure, and Financial Services, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.","chamber":"HOUSE","policyArea":"Immigration","legislativeSubjects":[],"lawStatus":null,"lawNumber":null,"latestActionText":null,"latestTextVersion":null,"textVersionUsed":null,"dateAdded":"2026-05-30T00:00:00+00:00","summarizedAt":null,"recordId":"dabd8423-5fe3-41e0-aa07-6b824b9cad33","feedIdentityKey":"119/hr/3881","websiteBillId":"HR-3881","yourvoiceSummary":"State and local police who honor ICE detention requests would be treated as federal agents — giving them full DHS authority and shielding their governments from lawsuits; the federal government would step in as the defendant instead.
