To require the District of Columbia to comply with federal immigration 
                                 laws.


 


    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``District of Columbia Federal 
Immigration Compliance Act of 2025''.

SEC. 2. PROHIBITION ON DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA SERVING AS SANCTUARY 
              JURISDICTION.

    (a) In General.--Except as provided under subsection (b), the 
District of Columbia may not have in effect a statute, ordinance, 
policy, or practice that prohibits or restricts any entity or official 
of the District government from--
            (1) sending, receiving, maintaining, or exchanging with any 
        Federal, State, or local government entity information 
        regarding the citizenship or immigration status (lawful or 
        unlawful) of any individual; or
            (2) complying with a request lawfully made by the 
        Department of Homeland Security under section 236 or 287 of the 
        Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1226 and 1357) to 
        comply with a detainer for, or notify about the release of, an 
        individual.
    (b) Exception.--The District of Columbia is not in violation of 
subsection (a) solely because it has a policy whereby its officials 
will not share information regarding an individual who comes forward as 
a victim or a witness to a criminal offense, or comply with a request 
made by the Department of Homeland Security under section 236 or 287 of 
the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1226 and 1357) to comply 
with a detainer regarding an individual who comes forward as a victim 
or a witness to a criminal offense.
