U.S. Senate Moves Toward Criminalizing Sanctuary City Mayors and Governors Who Defy Federal Immigration Law

The United States Senate is finally moving to hold rogue mayors and governors personally accountable for their defiance of federal immigration law.

For years, these “sanctuary” politicians have shielded criminal aliens, obstructed ICE agents, and turned American communities into high-risk zones, all while demanding taxpayer-funded bailouts to clean up the mess they created.

Senate Republicans, led by Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Eric Schmitt (R-MO), introduced powerhouse legislative packages designed to strip the “sanctuary” label of its power.

The End Sanctuary Cities Act of 2026 introduced by Graham doesn’t just cut off funding; it carries a hammer.

Under the proposed legislation, state and local officials who willfully obstruct federal immigration enforcement or refuse to comply with DHS detainer requests could face:

  • Up to five years behind bars for officials who “impede, inhibit, or stymie” federal agents.
  • Stripping the “qualified immunity” that has protected these politicians from lawsuits filed by victims of crimes committed by illegal aliens.
  • A complete cutoff of federal grants, including transportation and infrastructure funds, for any jurisdiction that refuses to share information with ICE.
