The bill would make sanctuary jurisdictions ineligible for certain federal funds. Congress.gov shows H.R. 32 was introduced in the House on 01/03/2025 and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary; the tracker lists the bill status as Introduced.

Mackenzie cosponsored a House bill matching the promise’s general aim, but the bill did not advance beyond introduction and referral.

Mackenzie voted for a separate House measure that restricted SBA offices in sanctuary jurisdictions, showing affirmative action on sanctuary-city policy, but not enactment of the specific grant-withholding promise.
