This bill, known as the "Citizen-Only Police Act of 2025" or the "COP Act of 2025," proposes to prohibit federal funding for any law enforcement agency that employs non-U.S. citizens (referred to as "aliens") in law enforcement officer positions. The legislation effectively creates a financial penalty for local or state law enforcement agencies that hire non-citizen officers by cutting off their access to federal funds. The bill is concise, with two primary sections: the first establishing its short title and the second outlining the funding restriction. If enacted, this bill would create a significant barrier for non-citizens seeking to work in law enforcement and could potentially impact agencies' hiring practices and budgets by removing federal financial support if they employ non-citizen officers.
