Places that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement could lose certain DHS security support for major events. DHS would redirect the unused money to ICE enforcement and removal work, with at least half for border-related operations.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, 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.
Sanctuary Jurisdiction Event Security Enhancement Act is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
Latest action on S. 3921: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects state and local governments that have policies limiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, especially if they host major events that rely on DHS security support. It also affects DHS, ICE, event organizers, local law enforcement, and immigrant communities in those areas.
Why this matters: This bill could change whether some communities get federal help securing large public events, based on their immigration enforcement policies. Supporters may see it as a way to push local governments to cooperate with federal immigration law and shift money toward higher-risk enforcement targets. Critics may see it as taking security resources away from large gatherings and pressuring local governments to change policing and immigration policies. The real impact would depend on which jurisdictions DHS identifies, how they respond, and how much SEAR-related support would otherwise have gone to them.
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.
