Fiscal Detail and Notes
The bill prohibits certain activities between law enforcement agencies and federal immigration and customs enforcement agencies.  Several existing Department of Public Safety federal grants contain terms and conditions requiring cooperation with immigration enforcement efforts.  To the extent any prohibitions conflict with these terms and conditions, federal funding could be reduced or eliminated.  These federal grants total approximately $14 million.
