POLICE Act of 2025
Introduced Jan 23, 2025 by Sen. Ted Budd
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill makes assaulting a law enforcement officer, firefighter, or other first responder a deportable offense.
Specifically, the bill makes deportable any non-U.S. national (alien under federal law) who has been convicted of (or admits to have committed) any act that constitutes the essential elements of any offense involving assault of a law enforcement officer, firefighter, or other first responder.
The Department of Homeland Security must publish annually on its website a report on the number of individuals deported in the previous fiscal year pursuant to this bill.
Summary by the Congressional Research Service.
No floor votes yet — it hasn't reached the floor of either chamber.
