Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
The bill prohibits the District of Columbia from maintaining any statute, ordinance, policy, or practice that bars or limits District officials or entities from sharing information about an individual’s citizenship or immigration status with federal, state, or local governments, and requires compliance with Department of Homeland Security requests under INA sections 236 and 287 to honor detainers or provide notice of releases.
House approval raises baseline chances, but high controversy, federalism objections, and Senate procedural dynamics lower overall probability.
How solid the drafting looks.
Local control and community trust vs. federal law and public safety
Local control and community trust vs. federal law and public safety
Likely to oppose the bill as an overreach that undermines local self-governance and community trust.
Concerns would focus on civil‑rights, public‑safety tradeoffs, and impacts on immigrant willingness to contact police or access services.
Mixed but cautiously receptive: supports rule‑of‑law coordination while wanting procedural safeguards and fiscal clarity.
Sees practical value in cooperation but worries about legal liability, costs, and community trust effects.
Likely strongly supportive, viewing the bill as restoring compliance with federal law and preventing sanctuary policies.
Emphasizes public safety and federal supremacy over local sanctuary decisions.
