banning sanctuary cities
Ban sanctuary cities in Wisconsin.
Occurrences
Evidence
GovInfo shows H.R. 7640, the Shut Down Sanctuary Policies Act of 2026, in reported-house status on March 12, 2026, with Thomas P. Tiffany listed as a cosponsor. The bill would amend immigration law to improve public safety through enforcement of federal immigration law in the interior of the United States.
Tiffany wrote that sanctuary policies 'illegally interfere' with immigration enforcement and said the House Judiciary Committee had passed legislation he cosponsored, the Shut Down Sanctuary Policies Act, which would punish state and local governments that enact such policies.
Assessments
Tiffany has cosponsored and publicly advocated federal anti-sanctuary legislation, including H.R. 7640, but the evidence shows the bill was only reported in the House and had not become law or produced a ban on sanctuary cities in Wisconsin. Because he made a serious legislative effort but the promised outcome was not delivered, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.
