Introduced
Summary

The bill text includes no definitions, exceptions, waivers, enforcement methods, timelines, or specified funding streams. As written, it would create a blanket, across-the-board prohibition that could apply to any agency employing aliens in law enforcement roles.

Block federal funds to police hiring noncitizens
This bill would block federal money to any law enforcement agency that employs a noncitizen (called an "alien" in the bill) as an officer. If an agency has even one noncitizen officer, it would not be able to receive federal funds. This could reduce federal grants or contracts that support local policing. It could put noncitizen officers’ jobs at risk. The bill lists no exceptions, dates, or enforcement steps.
