States and cities could lose FEMA shelter funds if they limit cooperation with federal immigration officials. Local officers would also get legal protection for sharing immigration status information or following certain federal requests.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Cooperation with ICE Act is a House bill in Congress.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects states, cities, and counties that receive FEMA Shelter and Services Program money and have policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration officials. It also affects local officers and employees in those places because it protects them from lawsuits in certain cases. Migrants and other people who rely on shelter or support services could also feel the effects if a community loses this funding.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it ties shelter funding to local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. Communities that limit that cooperation could lose a source of money for shelter and services. Local workers may also feel more free to share immigration information or follow federal requests because the bill gives them legal protection. The real effects would depend on how states and cities respond.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
