Bill Analysis
The District of Columbia Federal Immigration Compliance Act of 2025 (HR 2056) aims to enhance federal immigration enforcement within the District of Columbia (D.C.) by mandating compliance with federal immigration laws. The bill seeks to address concerns regarding local jurisdictions’ cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
Key provisions of HR 2056 include the requirement for D.C. to adhere to federal immigration enforcement protocols, specifically by prohibiting any policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. This includes restrictions on the sharing of information about individuals’ immigration status and the prohibition of sanctuary policies that protect undocumented immigrants from federal enforcement actions.
The bill authorizes federal funding to support local law enforcement agencies in their efforts to comply with federal immigration laws. This funding may be allocated for training, resources, and operational support to facilitate the enforcement of immigration laws at the local level. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is the primary federal agency involved in implementing the provisions of this legislation, working in conjunction with D.C. law enforcement agencies.
The primary beneficiaries of this bill are federal immigration authorities, who would gain increased access to information and cooperation from local law enforcement in D.C. Conversely, the legislation may have regulatory implications for undocumented immigrants in the district, as it could lead to increased enforcement actions and potential deportations.
The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives and has since been received in the Senate, where it has been read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs for further consideration. Key timelines for the bill’s progression will depend on the committee’s review and subsequent actions in the Senate, as well as potential debates and amendments before any final voting occurs.
