The “No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities” Act is just one of several dangerous anti-immigrant bills currently being rushed through Congress. This legislation would punish cities that refuse or limit cooperation with mass deportation efforts by cutting federal funds. It would define "sanctuary jurisdictions" as subdivisions of a state that prohibit or restrict their government entities from sharing information with federal, state, or local law enforcement entities regarding the citizenship or immigration status of any individual.

The bill threatens essential funding for public programs that benefit everyone—immigrants and citizens alike—such as school lunch programs, healthcare, transportation, and disaster relief. The Trump administration’s agenda is trying to force us into making a false choice between community funding and keeping our immigrant neighbors safe. This is a choice we must refuse to make—immigrants play an irreplaceable role in our communities.

By taking action and writing a letter to your legislators demanding that they reject the "No Bailout for Sanctuary Cities" Act, you are sending a powerful message that we will not stand by while our communities are torn apart!
