Show full summary
- Noncitizens convicted of, or admitting to, acts that meet the elements of assault on a law enforcement officer would become deportable. Deportability applies if the officer was assaulted while performing official duties, because of those duties, or because of the officer's status.
- The bill defines "law enforcement officer" broadly to cover people authorized to prevent, detain, investigate, prosecute, or incarcerate, and it explicitly includes firefighters and other first responders.
- The Secretary of Homeland Security would have to submit and publicly post an annual report to Congress showing the number of aliens deported under the new ground.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Annual DHS report on deportations
If enacted, the bill would require the Secretary of Homeland Security to send Congress a yearly report on how many aliens were deported under the new assault-of-officer ground. The report would cover deportations during the previous year and must be posted on the Department of Homeland Security website for the public. This requirement would start upon enactment.
Deportation for noncitizens who assault officers
If enacted, the bill would make noncitizens deportable if they are convicted of, or admit committing, an offense that has the essential elements of assault of a law enforcement officer. Deportability would apply when the officer was assaulted while performing official duties, because of those duties, or because of the officer’s status. The bill would use the meaning of "assault" from the jurisdiction where the act happened. The bill would define "law enforcement officer" to include people who prevent, investigate, arrest, or incarcerate for crimes and would include firefighters and other first responders. This change would take effect upon enactment.
