Penalise sanctuary jurisdictions financially

The document says “shouldWho acts: CongressHow: legislationp. 150 in the PDF
What the document says

“Congress should require compliance with immigration detainers to the maximum extent consistent with the Tenth Amendment and set financial disincentives for jurisdictions that implement either official or unofficial sanctuary policies.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 150

A detainer is a request from ICE that a local jail hold someone past their release date. The chapter asks Congress to require compliance as far as the Tenth Amendment allows and to set financial penalties for places with official or unofficial sanctuary policies. It also asks Congress to authorize state and local police to take part in immigration enforcement.

What the document actually says

“Congress should require compliance with immigration detainers to the maximum extent consistent with the Tenth Amendment and set financial disincentives for jurisdictions that implement either official or unofficial sanctuary policies.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 150
That sentence, in plain words

Make local jails hold people for ICE. Cut money to the places that refuse.

What this is about

ICE can ask a local jail to hold someone. Some cities refuse to do it. The book says the law should make them. It says those that refuse should lose money.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
