NEWS10 hours ago **Headline: Senate Republicans Push “End Sanctuary Cities Act” as Debate Over Immigration Enforcement Intensifies** In a move that has reignited the national debate over immigration policy, Senate Republicans are advancing new legislation aimed at penalizing state and local officials who refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities. The proposal, titled the **“End Sanctuary Cities Act” of 2026**, represents one of the most aggressive federal efforts yet to curb sanctuary policies across the United States. The bill, introduced by **Lindsey Graham** after consultations with **Donald Trump**, would create criminal penalties for government officials who deliberately obstruct federal immigration enforcement. Under the proposed law, mayors, governors, and other local leaders who refuse to hand over undocumented immigrants charged with or convicted of crimes could face prosecution and potential prison sentences. Speaking on the Senate floor, Graham argued that sanctuary policies undermine federal law and encourage illegal immigration. “If you want to change sanctuary city policy, you’ve got to hold those accountable who ignore federal law,” he said, framing the legislation as a step toward restoring law and order. ### Scope of the Proposal The legislation targets sanctuary protections in multiple states, including **California**, **New York**, **Illinois**, and **Washington**, as well as dozens of local jurisdictions that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Supporters say the measure is necessary to ensure uniform enforcement of immigration laws nationwide. A separate proposal introduced by **Eric Schmitt** would go even further, establishing penalties of up to five years in prison for individuals who “obstruct, impede, or prevent” federal immigration enforcement. ### Political Battle Ahead Despite strong backing from Republican leadership, including Senate Majority Leader **John Thune**, the bill faces significant opposition. Critics, including **Alex Padilla**, argue that the measure could criminalize local governance decisions, strain relations between immigrant communities and law enforcement, and raise constitutional questions about federal authority over states. Immigration advocates also warn that harsher penalties may discourage cooperation with police, potentially making communities less safe. Legal scholars note that similar efforts in the past have faced court challenges over states’ rights and the limits of federal power. ### What Comes Next The legislation’s future remains uncertain as lawmakers prepare for a contentious debate. Supporters view the bill as a decisive step toward stricter immigration enforcement, while opponents see it as a dramatic escalation with far-reaching legal and social consequences. With immigration continuing to dominate the national agenda, the outcome of the “End Sanctuary Cities Act” could shape federal-state relations and enforcement policy for years to come.
