H.R. 2056 would prohibit D.C. from having any law, policy, or practice that stops officials from sharing immigration status information or cooperating with federal immigration detainer requests. One exception applies for policies protecting crime victims or witnesses who come forward.
This affects D.C.'s city government, police, and other officials, as well as immigrants living in the District, especially those without legal status who interact with local law enforcement. It also affects D.C.'s cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
The bill would limit D.C.'s authority to set its own immigration cooperation policies, since Congress has specific power to legislate for the District. It would not apply to other cities or states with similar sanctuary policies.
