Summary

What This Bill Does

Prohibits public schools and higher education institutions receiving federal funding from using their facilities to shelter or house "specified aliens." Threatens loss of federal financial assistance for violations.

Who Benefits and How

Schools may focus facilities on educational purposes. Some taxpayers and parents may prefer schools not used for immigration housing.

Who Bears the Burden and How

Migrants who might otherwise be housed in school facilities lose that option. Schools and communities facing immigrant housing crises have fewer options. Schools risk losing federal funding for violations.

Key Provisions

  • Condition on receipt of federal education funding
  • Facilities cannot be used for shelter or housing of specified aliens
  • Applies to public elementary, secondary schools, and higher education
  • Overrides certain welfare law exceptions
