Why the model tagged it this way: The bill's core provisions repeal California's sanctuary law (SB 54) and expand state/local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement via training and State Guard deployment. It also intends to ban state funding for services to undocumented immigrants and require reporting on immigration impacts, but these are stated only as future intent without enacting substantive text in the provided bill excerpt.
