 ,reform1 for a period to be            
subsequently determined by the ,speaker1
 in each case for consideration of such 
provisions as fall within the           

jurisdiction of the committee concerned 
,a ,,bill  ,to provide that section #i  
of ,executive ,order #acgfh1 relating to
 sanctuary jurisdictions1 shall have no 
force or effect1 to prohibit the use of 
funds for certain purposes1 and for     
other purposes4  #a4 ,short title ,this

,the ,congress finds the following3     
7#a7 ,since this ,nation's founding1    
immigrants such as ,alexander ,hamilton1
 ,albert ,einstein1 ,marcus ,garvey1 and
 others have enhanced our civic life and
 helped spur economic growth4 ,they have
 founded companies that changed the     
world1 pushed the limits of our minds1  
and made us better people in the        
process4  7#b7 ,immigrants              
overwhelmingly follow the law and seek  
better lives for themselves and their   
families4  7#c7 ,section #i of          
,executive ,order #acgfh1 which imposes 
consequences on so-called sanctuary     
jurisdictions1 threatens to impede our  

societal progress by forcing immigrants 
to live in fear and be subjected to     
inhumane treatment that is not in       
keeping with our values and previous    
commitments4  7#d7 ,this section of the 
,executive order harms public safety by 
destroying trust between law enforcement
 officials and immigrant communities4   
,it would force local law enforcement   
officials to depart from their          
bipartisan commitment to respecting the 
confidentiality of their sources1 which 
would make it harder to engage in       
community policing4  7#e7 ,state1 city1 
and local law enforcement officials     
already cooperate with ,federal         
authorities to initiate removal         
proceedings against criminal aliens who 
commit one of over #aj dozen serious    
crimes4  7#f7 ,threats to diminish      
funding to ,state1 city1 and local law  
enforcement officials for failing to    
comply with section #i of the ,executive
 order constitute a grave threat to     
public safety4  7#g7 ,section #i of     

,executive ,order #acgfh1 also          
constitutes a threat to public health by
 making it less likely that undocumented
 immigrants with life threatening       
contagious diseases will seek health    
treatment because of their fear of being
 removed4  7#h7 ,this section of the    
,executive order also places our        
,nation's economic health at risk1 since
 immigrants contribute to the vibrancy  
of our economy by performing jobs that  
many ,americans are unwilling to perform
 and pay taxes that fund public benefit 
programs4  7#i7 ,section #i of          
,executive ,order #acgfh unlawfully     
commandeers ,state1 city1 and local law 
enforcement officials in service of an  
inhumane and ill-conceived goal4  7#aj7 
,this section of the ,executive order is
 particularly harmful to immigrants of  
color who stand out the most and may be 
the easiest to apprehend4  7#aa7        
,section #i of ,executive ,order #acgfh 
is discriminatory1 misguided1 and       
contrary to the public interest4  #c4   

,nullification of effect of ,executive  
order ,section #i of ,executive ,order  
#acgfh is null and void and shall have  
no force or effect4  #d4 ,prohibition   
against use of funds for certain        
purposes ,no funds appropriated pursuant
 to any provision of law may be used to 
promulgate or enforce any ,executive    
order that compels ,state1 city1 or     
local officials to assist ,federal      
authorities in the removal of aliens    
from the ,united ,states4  #e4 ,report  
to ,congress ,not later than #cj days   
after the date of the enactment of this 
,act1 the ,secretary of ,homeland       
,security shall submit a report to the  
,congress identifying ways in which     
,department of ,homeland ,security      
personnel can strengthen immigrant      
community trust in the ,department4
