Bill Summary
A BILL To impose sanctions with respect to police departments in the People’s Republic of China and other persons seeking to establish a Chinese police presence in the United States.
AI Summary
This bill, called the "Expel Illegal Chinese Police Act of 2025", aims to impose sanctions on Chinese police departments and individuals seeking to establish a Chinese police presence in the United States. The bill authorizes the President to impose sanctions on foreign persons associated with provincial or municipal police departments in China, particularly those from Xinjiang and Fujian provinces, who are involved in establishing or maintaining a Chinese police presence in the US, or who are acting under the direction of Chinese law enforcement or the United Front Work Department to monitor or intimidate individuals in the United States. The sanctions include blocking financial transactions involving these individuals and making them inadmissible to the United States, with provisions to revoke their visas and entry documentation. The President can waive these sanctions for up to 30 days if deemed vital to national security interests. The bill also prohibits federal agencies from participating in investigations into these individuals unless the President determines it is essential to the health, safety, and well-being of US citizens. Key terms are defined, including "foreign person," "immediate family member," and "United States person," to provide clarity on the scope of the sanctions.
