DHS updates terms and conditions for grants to ensure compliance with immigration enforcement

  1. Original Date Announced

    March 27, 2025

    DHS updated the terms and conditions that apply to all new federal grants in fiscal year 2025. The terms and conditions were originally released in October 2024. The updates add a new set of criteria titled “Communication and Cooperation with the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration Officials.”

    The new criteria mandate that grant beneficiaries, inter alia:

    • Comply with statutes prohibiting restrictions on information-sharing by state and local governments with DHS about the citizenship or immigration status of any individual;
    • Follow immigration laws that prohibit encouraging undocumented immigrants to enter or reside in the U.S., and also prohibit harboring, concealing, or shielding undocumented immigrants from detection, or engaging in conspiracy, aiding, or abetting an attempt to violate immigration statutes;
    • Honor requests for cooperation, such as participation in joint operations, sharing of information, or requests for short-term detention of a noncitizen pursuant to a valid detainer;
    • Provide access to detainees, including when immigration officers seek to interview individuals who may be removable;
    • Not leak or publicize the existence of immigration-enforcement operations.
