Expel Illegal Chinese Police Act of 2025

4/4/2025, 8:29 PM

Summary of Bill HR 2127

Bill 119 HR 2127, also known as the "Chinese Police Presence Prevention Act," aims to impose sanctions on police departments in the People's Republic of China and individuals or entities attempting to establish a Chinese police presence in the United States. The bill seeks to address concerns about potential foreign influence and interference in American law enforcement.

If passed, this legislation would authorize the US government to impose sanctions on Chinese police departments and any individuals or organizations that are working to establish a Chinese police presence in the US. These sanctions could include asset freezes, travel bans, and other punitive measures.

Supporters of the bill argue that allowing Chinese police presence in the US could compromise national security and undermine American values of democracy and freedom. They believe that it is important to prevent foreign entities from exerting influence over US law enforcement agencies. Opponents of the bill may argue that it could strain diplomatic relations between the US and China, and that it may not be necessary to impose sanctions on Chinese police departments. They may also raise concerns about the potential impact of these sanctions on US-China relations and international cooperation on law enforcement issues. Overall, Bill 119 HR 2127 represents a bipartisan effort to address concerns about foreign influence in American law enforcement and to protect national security interests. It will be important to closely monitor the progress of this legislation and its potential impact on US-China relations.

Congressional Summary of HR 2127

Expel Illegal Chinese Police Act of 2025

This bill requires sanctions on certain foreign persons associated with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) or Chinese law enforcement institutions, including those seeking to establish a Chinese police presence in the United States. 

The bill requires the President to impose visa-blocking sanctions on certain non-U.S. nationals (aliens under federal law), including those who are (1) employees of Chinese law enforcement institutions or their immediate family members, or (2) directly associated with a Chinese police or United Front Work Department (UFWD) presence in the United States. (The CCP's UFWD seeks to win support for the CCP from non-CCP groups at home and abroad, with a focus on ethnic-Chinese diaspora communities.)

The President must also impose property-blocking sanctions on foreign individuals or entities that are (1) Chinese law enforcement institutions, their senior leaders, or those acting under the control of such institutions; (2) directly associated with establishing or maintaining a Chinese police presence in the United States; or (3) acting under the control of the UFWD with the intention of covertly monitoring or intimidating those living in the United States.

Additionally, the bill requires the President to prohibit federal agencies from participating in investigations into foreign persons subject to these sanctions unless the investigation is (1) initiated by the U.S. government; or (2) the President determines that such participation is vital to the health, safety, and well-being of U.S. citizens.
