What this bill would do

The POLICE Act of 2025 aims to make the assault of a law enforcement officer a deportable offense. It seeks to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to include this specific offense. An alien can be considered deportable if they are convicted of, admit to, or admit to acts constituting the essential elements of an assault on an officer. This applies if the officer was assaulted while performing official duties, because of those duties, or because of their status as an officer. The bill also requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to submit an annual report to Congress regarding these deportations.
