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.
