What it does
The bill has two parts. The Interior Secretary runs a cleanup program for DC's public spaces, monuments, and transit systems. A group led by a White House official will say how to enforce immigration law. The group will also handle crime, manage gun licenses, and place police across DC. The group includes officials from the FBI, ATF, and three US Attorneys' offices.
Who it affects
DC residents may see changes to how police and immigration work in the city. The cleanup program affects public spaces like parks and transit systems. The group's ideas could change how DC handles immigration cases and jail before trial.
One thing to notice
The bill gives a group power to direct immigration enforcement. The group will say how many people stay in jail before trial. A White House official leads the group. DC's elected leaders are not part of it. The group ends on January 2, 2029.
