U.S. Representative Chip Roy (R-Texas) has introduced the Sanctuary Penalty and Public Protection Act, a bill targeting sanctuary jurisdictions that limit cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The legislation proposes to strip all federal funding from these jurisdictions and mandates the creation of a public database listing every sanctuary jurisdiction in the United States. Roy described the bill as imposing the strictest penalties to date on sanctuary cities, aiming to hold them accountable for policies that hinder immigration enforcement. The bill has received support from other lawmakers who emphasize the need for Congress to block funding to states that assist undocumented immigrants. The legislation, identified as HR 5005, is part of a broader effort to address immigration enforcement and federal spending.
