Assault on Officer: New Deportation Rules for Non-Citizens

This bill introduces new deportation rules for non-citizens. If a non-citizen is convicted of assaulting a law enforcement officer, firefighter, or other first responder, they will be subject to deportation. The aim is to enhance protection for those who ensure our safety.
Key points
Non-citizens convicted of assaulting a law enforcement officer, firefighter, or first responder will be deportable.
Assault includes instances where the officer was on duty, due to their duties, or because of their status.
The Department of Homeland Security will annually report on the number of deportations under this act.
