The purpose of the Restoring Community Trust Act of 2026 is to repeal a specific provision from a 1996 immigration law that restricts how state and local governments can communicate with federal immigration authorities. The main objective is to restore the balance of power between federal and state governments, allowing local authorities more control over their operations and fostering trust within their communities. Key provisions of the Act include the repeal of section 642 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996.
