On this episode of Deep Dive of the Week we discuss H.R. 32. H.R. 32 threatens to defund "sanctuary cities," impacting vital community services such as school lunch programs and disaster relief. The bill's broad definition of "sanctuary jurisdiction" raises concerns about abusive implementation and potential violations of states' rights. Funding cuts could lead to increased homelessness, public health crises, and erosion of trust between immigrant communities and local law enforcement. A proposed $175 billion budget for immigration and border enforcement may cause sweeping cuts to Medicaid, Social Security, and food assistance, shifting national priorities. This move signals a potential shift towards harsher immigration policies, with heightened restrictions and increased detentions impacting immigrant communities. Civil rights and immigration attorneys need to prepare for these policy and funding changes, understanding their effects on legal practices and impacted communities.
