Defines sanctuary jurisdictions partly by failure to comply with ICE detainer or notification requests under INA sections 236 and 287, and penalizes them by forcing SBA office relocations, so more state/local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
prohibits or restricts any government entity or official from-- (B) complying with a request lawfully made by the Department of Homeland Security under section 236 or 287 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1226 and 1357) to comply with a detainer for, or notify about the release of, an individual.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill substantively addresses immigration-enforcement by targeting sanctuary jurisdictions (defined via limits on data-sharing and ICE cooperation) with mandatory SBA office relocations, operational shutdowns for noncompliance, and a ban on new offices there. This expands enforcement by pressuring jurisdictions to reduce sanctuary policies and increase cooperation with federal immigration authorities. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.
