Safeguarding Sanctuary Cities Act of 2016

To protect any State or local authority that limits or restricts compliance with an immigration detainer request remains eligible for grants and appropriated funds. 1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Safeguarding Sanctuary Cities Act of 2016 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Existing Federal law authorizes any authorized immigration officer to issue an immigration detainer that serves to advise another law enforcement agency that the Federal department seeks custody of an undocumented immigrant presently in the custody of that agency, for the purpose of arresting and removing the undocumented immigrant. (2) Unlike criminal detainers, which are supported by a warrant and require probable cause, there is no requirement for a warrant and no established standard of proof, such as reasonable suspicion or probable cause, for issuing an ICE detainer request. Immigration detainers have erroneously been placed on United States citizens, as well as immigrants who are not deportable. (3) Galarza v. Szalczyk, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled in March 2014 that states and counties are not required to keep undocumented immigrants in jail on immigration detainers; and in April 2014, Miranda-Olivares v. Clackamas County, the U.S. District Court in Portland, Oregon found that county governments would be exposed to civil rights lawsuits for honoring detainers not issued in compliance with Fourth Amendment protections, including a showing of probable cause. 3. Discretion to comply with immigration detainers Notwithstanding any other provision of law (including section 642 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996), if a State or unit of local government has in place any policy that limits or restricts compliance with a detainer or otherwise does not comply with a detainer, Federal financial assistance (as such term is defined in section 7501(a)(5) of title 31, United States Code) that the State or unit of local government would otherwise receive may not be reduced or not made available to that State or unit of local government by reason of such noncompliance. 4. Definitions In this Act, the term detainer (1) to temporarily hold a person in the custody of that State or unit of local government until such person may be taken into Federal custody; (2) to transport such a person for transfer to Federal custody; or (3) to notify the Secretary prior to the release of such a person.

Summary: Safeguarding Sanctuary Cities Act of 2016 This bill prohibits reducing or withholding federal financial assistance that a state or local government would otherwise receive because such state or local government has in place any policy that limits or restricts compliance with a detainer. A "detainer" is defined as any order or request by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for a state or local official to: temporarily hold a person until such person may be taken into federal custody, transport such a person for transfer to federal custody, or notify DHS prior to releasing such person.
