Bill > HR2494

This bill, known as the Protect Our Law Enforcement with Immigration Control and Enforcement (POLICE) Act of 2023, aims to make the assault of a law enforcement officer a deportable offense. Specifically, the bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to state that any alien who has been convicted of, admitted to, or committed acts constituting the essential elements of an offense involving the assault of a law enforcement officer is deportable. The circumstances covered include when the officer was assaulted while engaged in official duties, because of their official duties, or because of their status as a law enforcement officer. The bill also requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to submit an annual report to Congress on the number of aliens deported under this provision.
