This bill, HB6372, aims to repeal the Human Rights Sanctuary Amendment Act of 2022. This act, often called the D.C. Shield Law, provides protections and legal support for individuals who assist migrants and refugees in the District of Columbia, ensuring they are not penalized for their actions. If passed, HB6372 would remove these protections.

The bill would primarily affect those who assist migrants and refugees in D.C., potentially making it more difficult for them to do so without fear of legal repercussions. It would also impact policymakers and advocates who support these protections.

As of December 3, 2025, the bill has been introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. No further action has been taken yet.
