Introduce legislation to prohibit state homeland security grant funds from being used for civil immigration enforcement at World Cup game sites and to bar federally funded state and local law enforcement from participating in 287(g) enforcement during World Cup games in host cities.

I’m introducing this bill to draw a clear line that makes sure state and local law enforcement can actually focus on keeping fans safe.
