Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people who claim they were harmed by sanctuary jurisdiction policies, law enforcement officers, and state or local governments with sanctuary-style rules. It could also affect people accused of murdering or assaulting law enforcement officers because it would create or increase penalties for those crimes.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it would turn disputes over sanctuary policies into possible lawsuits by people who say those policies harmed them. It would also raise the stakes for crimes against law enforcement officers by creating or strengthening penalties. The available source does not provide the full legal language, so the exact reach of these changes is not clear from this packet alone.
