Purpose and Summary

Protect Our Law enforcement with Immigration Control and Enforcement Act of 2025 or the POLICE Act of 2025

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 year pursuant to this bill.

Bill 119 HR 31, also known as the "Assault of a Law Enforcement Officer Act," aims to make the assault of a law enforcement officer a deportable offense. The bill seeks to enhance the protection of law enforcement officers by ensuring that individuals who commit acts of violence against them can be removed from the country.

Under this legislation, individuals who are convicted of assaulting a law enforcement officer could face deportation. This measure is intended to deter violence against law enforcement officers and send a strong message that such actions will not be tolerated.

In addition to making assault of a law enforcement officer a deportable offense, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes. While the specific details of these provisions are not outlined in the summary, it is clear that the primary focus of the bill is on enhancing the safety and protection of law enforcement officers. Overall, Bill 119 HR 31 represents a significant step towards ensuring the safety and well-being of law enforcement officers and sending a clear message that violence against them will not be tolerated.
