HR 9167 United States House · 118th Congress

Sanctuary City Oversight and Responsibility in Enforcement Act of 2024

HR 9167 restricts how federal funds can be used to transport migrants. It prohibits using FEMA's Shelter and Services Program grants to move migrants to jurisdictions without written approval from local officials, and requires grantees to report quarterly to FEMA on each migrant's destination. Jurisdictions violating this rule lose eligibility for these grants. The bill also mandates documentation confirming migrants have support in destination areas and requires quarterly GAO reports listing all grant recipients and amounts. This directly affects cities, counties, and states receiving FEMA shelter grants.
