Why the model tagged it this way: The bill defines sanctuary jurisdictions by their limits on sharing immigration-status information or honoring ICE detainers, then makes them ineligible for DHS SEAR event-security funding unless they certify compliance; withheld amounts are redirected to ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations with priority for criminal noncitizens and border removals. This expands immigration enforcement and state-federal cooperation by penalizing and incentivizing against sanctuary policies. No provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or abortion.
