What it does
The Sanctuary Jurisdiction Event Security Enhancement Act would prohibit sanctuary jurisdictions—defined as states or localities that restrict cooperation with federal immigration enforcement—from receiving federal Special Event Assessment Rating (SEAR) support funds for major events unless they certify compliance with federal immigration laws after a 30-day notice period. Funds withheld from ineligible jurisdictions would be reallocated to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations, with priority given to arrests and deportations of criminal noncitizens, gang members, and individuals on terrorist watch lists, and at least half directed toward border-related enforcement. The bill requires semiannual reporting to Congress on fund reallocations and their impact on immigration enforcement and event security risks.
