Mobilizing Against Sanctuary Cities Act
Key claim: HR3861 (Mobilizing Against Sanctuary Cities Act) was referred to the House Judiciary and Oversight committees in the 119th Congress, targeting sanctuary city policies.
Abstract
(HR3861 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2025-06-10): Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Why this matters
Sanctuary city policies are a recurring flashpoint in federal-local immigration enforcement, and legislative proposals to penalize or restrict such jurisdictions can affect how local law enforcement interacts with immigrant residents, including crime reporting and detention practices. Tracking bills like HR3861 alongside related measures helps map the range of proposed federal levers—funding, visa access, preemption—being brought to bear on subnational immigration policy.
