HR 7343 United States House · 118th Congress

Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act

This bill requires immigration authorities to detain and deport non-citizens who assault law enforcement officers while on duty or because of their officer status. It amends immigration law to mandate detention for individuals already inadmissible under certain immigration categories who commit assaults against officers during official duties. The Secretary of Homeland Security must issue a detainer and take custody if the person isn't already detained by authorities. The bill defines "assault" by local law and includes firefighters and first responders as protected "law enforcement officers."
