POLICE Act of 2025
This bill amends immigration law to make non-citizens subject to deportation if convicted of assaulting a law enforcement officer, firefighter, or first responder while they were performing official duties, due to their duties, or because of their status. It defines "assault" under local law and expands "law enforcement officer" to include those preventing, investigating, or prosecuting crimes. The bill also requires the Department of Homeland Security to annually report the number of such deportations to Congress and the public. The policy directly affects non-citizens convicted of qualifying assaults against covered personnel, with no new enforcement mechanisms beyond existing deportation procedures.
