It is the policy of
the executive branch to ensure, to the fullest extent of the law, that a
State, or a political subdivision of a State, shall comply with 8
U.S.C. 1373.
(a) In furtherance of this policy, the Attorney
General and the Secretary, in their discretion and to the extent
consistent with law, shall ensure that jurisdictions that willfully
refuse to comply with 8 U.S.C. 1373 (sanctuary jurisdictions) are not
eligible to receive Federal grants, except as deemed necessary for law
enforcement purposes by the Attorney General or the Secretary. The
Secretary has the authority to designate, in his discretion and to the
extent consistent with law, a jurisdiction as a sanctuary jurisdiction.
The Attorney General shall take appropriate enforcement action against
any entity that violates 8 U.S.C. 1373, or which has in effect a
statute, policy, or practice that prevents or hinders the enforcement of
Federal law.
(b) To better inform the public regarding the
public safety threats associated with sanctuary jurisdictions, the
Secretary shall utilize the Declined Detainer Outcome Report or its
equivalent and, on a weekly basis, make public a comprehensive list of
criminal actions committed by aliens and any jurisdiction that ignored
or otherwise failed to honor any detainers with respect to such aliens.
(c)
The Director of the Office of Management and Budget is directed to
obtain and provide relevant and responsive information on all Federal
grant money that currently is received by any sanctuary jurisdiction.
