Justice for Victims of Sanctuary Cities and Fallen Law Enforcement...
A bill to provide a civil remedy for individuals harmed by sanctuary jurisdiction policies, to create or enhance penalties for murder and assault committed against law enforcement officers, and for other purposes.
This bill, SB3782, proposes to create legal protections for individuals who have been harmed due to policies in sanctuary jurisdictions, which are areas that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. It also aims to strengthen penalties for crimes like murder and assault against law enforcement officers. If passed, it would allow those harmed by sanctuary policies to seek civil remedies.
The bill would affect people who have suffered due to the actions of sanctuary jurisdictions, as well as law enforcement officers and their families by providing stronger protections and penalties. It could lead to changes in how local jurisdictions handle immigration enforcement and potentially increase the penalties for crimes against law enforcement.
As of February 5, 2026, the bill was introduced and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary for further consideration. It has not yet been scheduled for a committee hearing or vote.
