Introduced by Republican Rep. Tom McClintock, the bill is currently on the legislative calendar, awaiting a potential vote after the upcoming election. The bill proposes creating a private right of action, enabling victims to sue jurisdictions that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/illegal-immigrant-accused-of-groping-girls-at-virginia-high-school-county-allegedly-protected-him-from-ice\/\" title=\"... Accused of Groping Girls at Virginia High School, County Allegedly Protected Him from ICE\">release criminal illegal aliens<\/a>, thereby reducing the civil immunity currently enjoyed by officials in some areas. <\/p>\n<p>Key provisions include mandating local and state cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, penalizing jurisdictions that refuse to honor immigration detainers with funding cuts, and providing federal immunity for complying officials. The bill also seeks to prevent jurisdictions from blocking law enforcement efforts related to immigration enforcement and mandates DHS to issue detainers for individuals suspected of being inadmissible or deportable.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters argue the bill addresses issues related to sanctuary policies that have led to tragic cases, such as the 2023 killing of a woman in Sacramento by an illegal immigrant who had been released after crossing the border illegally. Critics and advocates are watching whether the bill will pass, with plans for a vote expected after the election.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A House bill that would let crime victims sue state and local officials who release illegal immigrants under federal detainers is sitting on the calendar for a possible post-election vote.<\/p>\n<p>The measure is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/119th-congress\/house-bill\/7640\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shut Down Sanctuary Policies Act of 2026<\/a>, H.R. 7640.

In some places that protection is absolute immunity, the broadest form of the doctrine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt allows people who\u2019ve been harmed, where local political leaders tell the local law enforcement they can\u2019t work with federal law enforcement, detainers aren\u2019t honored \u2026 to go take that city, take that state to court,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we got a good deal that we worked long and hard on.

It would bar state and local governments from blocking their own employees from enforcing immigration law, working with federal agents, or asking about a person\u2019s status.<\/p>\n<p>It would require the Department of Homeland Security to issue a detainer when someone is arrested for a criminal or motor-vehicle offense and DHS has probable cause that the person is inadmissible or deportable. Local authorities would have to honor those detainers.<\/p>\n<p>Jurisdictions DHS finds out of compliance would lose certain law-enforcement and immigration funding. That money would go to places that comply. The bill also gives federal immunity to officials and agencies that follow it, and it lets related prosecutions be moved to federal court.<\/p>\n<p>DHS could refuse to hand someone over to a jurisdiction that is not in compliance, and it could not transfer a person who already has a final order of removal.<\/p>\n<p>Just the News tied the push to recent cases.<\/p>\n<p>The outlet cited a September DHS account of Rohit Rohit, an illegal immigrant from India released during the Biden years, who is accused of stalking Shalini Thakur for months and then killing her in a Panera Bread parking lot in Sacramento.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">ENOUGH \ud83d\ude21\ud83d\ude21 BREAKING: NEW: DHS confirms that a murder suspect who killed a woman in Sacramento, CA on Tuesday by chasing her down with a gun, shooting her, then shooting her again in the head on the ground, is an Indian illegal alien who was caught &#038; released at the border by the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>DHS says Rohit Rohit was arrested by U.S. Border Patrol after crossing the Arizona border illegally in August 2023, but he was released into the country.<\/p>\n<p>Per local media, he had been stalking and harassing the woman he killed, even putting an AirTag under the hood of her car.<\/p>\n<p>He shot and killed himself after the murder.<\/p>\n<p>DHS statement:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis illegal alien from India harassed, stalked, and then killed a 38-year-old woman in California, and then took his own life when police caught up to him,\u201d said a DHS Spokesperson. \u201cThis tragedy would have been completely avoided if it weren\u2019t for the Biden Administration RELEASING this killer into our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 MAGA Deb \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@DebRN1953) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DebRN1953\/status\/2098465744749052286?\">September 11, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>DHS said sanctuary politicians had to end policies that \u201cplay Russian roulette with American lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bill has not had a floor vote. <a href=\"https:\/\/congress.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Congress.gov<\/a> lists it as reported to the House and waiting on the calendar.
