Federal funds would not pay for some immigration enforcement during the World Cup.
This bill would temporarily stop certain state and local agencies from using federal money for civil immigration enforcement during the 2026 World Cup. From June 11 to July 19, 2026, these agencies could not use specific federal funds for activities like participating in programs that let local police act as immigration agents. This restriction would apply unless there's an urgent safety or national security risk.
Today, state and local agencies that receive certain federal homeland security grants can use those funds for civil immigration enforcement activities. They can also use them to participate in programs that involve local police in federal immigration duties. If this bill becomes law, these agencies would be temporarily blocked from using those specific federal funds for such activities. This restriction would apply from June 11, 2026, to July 19, 2026, unless there are urgent safety or national security circumstances.
