A bill to establish eligibility requirements for the use of Federal funds for Special Event Assessment Rating support in sanctuary jurisdictions and to reallocate such funds to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for immigration enforcement efforts.

# Bill Summary: S 3921 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would change how federal funding is distributed for Special Event Assessment Rating (SEAR) support—a program that provides federal resources to help localities manage security at major events. The bill would prohibit sanctuary jurisdictions (cities and states that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement) from receiving these federal funds. Instead, the money would be redirected to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to support immigration enforcement operations. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects sanctuary jurisdictions and their residents who benefit from federal event security funding.

It would also impact ICE's budget and operations, which could expand with the reallocated funds. Additionally, communities that host large events in sanctuary cities could face reduced federal security support if the bill passes. **Current Status** S 3921 was introduced by Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet advanced to a full Senate vote. The bill reflects ongoing debates about sanctuary policies and federal funding conditions.
