Senators Marshall, Budd Reintroduce Bill to Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Law Enforcement

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senators Roger Marshall, M.D. and Ted Budd (R-NC) re-introduced the Protect Our Law Enforcement with Immigration Control and Enforcement (POLICE) Act of 2025. 

“Illegal aliens who assault police officers must be deported immediately. I am proud to join Senator Budd in introducing legislation that makes it clear that the United States will not tolerate attacks on our Nation’s law enforcement. We will continue to fight for law and order” Senator Marshall said.

Under the POLICE Act, assault of a law enforcement officer, firefighter, or other first responder by an illegal alien will be a deportable offense under federal law. This bill will further strengthen federal law following the historic passage of the Laken Riley Act requiring U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain an illegal alien who assaults law enforcement. 

In addition to Senators Marshall and Budd, this bill is co-sponsored by Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC), Steve Daines (R-MT), Katie Britt (R-AL), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Eric Schmitt (R-MO), Bill Hagerty (R-TN), James Lankford (R-OK), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Jim Justice (R-WV), and Tim Sheehy (R-MT).
