Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act
This bill amends immigration law to require immediate detention and deportation of undocumented immigrants who assault law enforcement officers. It adds specific criteria: the assault must occur while the officer is on duty, because of their duties, or due to their status as a law enforcement officer, firefighter, or first responder. The Secretary of Homeland Security must issue a detainer for such individuals and take custody if not already detained by authorities. The bill directly affects undocumented immigrants charged with or convicted of assaulting officers meeting these defined circumstances. It modifies existing immigration detention procedures without creating new criminal offenses.
