Plain-English summary
No Transportation Funds for Sanctuary Cities Act
This bill prohibits the obligation or expenditure of certain national infrastructure investment funds for discretionary grants (commonly known as Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery [TIGER] grants) for a surface transportation infrastructure investment project in a sanctuary jurisdiction.
A "sanctuary jurisdiction" means a state or political subdivision that prohibits or restricts a government entity or official from:
- receiving, maintaining, or providing a federal, state, or local government entity information regarding the citizenship or immigration status of an individual; or
- complying with a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) detainer order to temporarily hold an alien in custody, transport an alien to federal custody, or notify DHS about an alien's release.
