District of Columbia Federal Immigration Compliance Act of 2025

What this does

This bill bars the District of Columbia from adopting or keeping sanctuary policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. It prohibits any District statute, ordinance, policy, or practice that stops a District entity or official from sharing citizenship or immigration status information with any federal, state, or local government entity, or from complying with a Department of Homeland Security detainer request or release-notification request lawfully made under sections 236 or 287 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1226 and 1357). The measure passed the House on June 12, 2025, and the text carries the notation of an act engrossed in the House rather than one enacted.
