Heidi Heitkamp Protects Funding for Sanctuary Cities With Filibuster Vote
Pennsylvania.
If passed the legislation would have stopped “a sanctuary jurisdiction from receiving grants under certain Economic Development Assistance Programs and the Community Development Block Grant Program,” per the description at the link. A “sanctuary jurisdiction” is defined as “state or political subdivision that complies with a detainer is deemed to be an agent of the Department of Homeland Security and is authorized to take actions to comply with the detainer.”
In other words, it would have been a cut in federal funds for cities or states which refuse to cooperate with the federal government in identifying and detaining illegal immigrants.
