CLEAR Act of 2025

This bill allows state and local governments to help federal authorities enforce immigration laws by arresting people who are in the United States illegally and turning them over to federal custody. It requires the Department of Homeland Security to take custody of these individuals within 48 hours when requested by state or local authorities, and the federal government will pay back reasonable expenses for holding them. The bill also requires the construction of 20 new detention facilities, protects state and local law enforcement from certain lawsuits, and cuts off some federal funding to places that don't cooperate with immigration enforcement.
