Making Assault on First Responders a Deportable Offense.
This bill establishes a new, strict rule for non-citizens residing in the U.S. Any non-citizen convicted of assaulting a law enforcement officer, firefighter, or other first responder will automatically face deportation. The legislation aims to enhance the safety of public servants by imposing severe immigration consequences for such criminal acts.
Key points
Assaulting a law enforcement officer or first responder is now explicitly defined as grounds for deportation for non-citizens.
The definition of 'law enforcement officer' includes police, firefighters, and other first responders acting in their official capacity.
Deportation applies if the assault occurred while the officer was performing duties or because of their official station.
