House Passes Bill To Deport Migrants Who Assault Police Officers

The GOP-controlled House of Representatives recently passed the Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act, a bill that mandates the deportation of illegal immigrants who assault police officers. The measure passed with a vote of 265 to 148, with 54 Democrats joining Republicans in support. Sponsored by Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-N.J.), the legislation requires that any illegal immigrant accused of assaulting a law enforcement officer be detained until deportation proceedings are completed.

The bill also creates a new category of inadmissibility for migrants involved in such assaults. Supporters argue this change is necessary to protect law enforcement and reinforce respect for the rule of law.

“There is no reason that an illegal alien who attacks our law enforcement should remain in our country,” Van Drew said. He emphasized that those who show “zero respect for our rule of law” should not be allowed to stay and warned against allowing violent offenders to remain in the United States.

House Majority Whip Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) harshly criticized Democrats who opposed the bill. “House Democrats just voted to protect violent, illegal immigrants over our brave law enforcement officers,” he said, accusing the Democratic Party of being “the most anti-law enforcement party in history.”

The vote took place during a period of increasing political tension in Washington. Republicans are focusing on law and order issues ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, a strategy they believe resonates with a concerned electorate.

Adding to the GOP’s momentum, a recent CNN poll revealed that Republicans now hold a 12-point lead over Democrats on economic issues—a critical area for voters. CNN data analyst Harry Enten said he was surprised by the polling results, especially after months of Democratic criticism of Trump-era economic policies and trade tariffs.

Enten noted that the GOP’s lead on economic trust had grown from a 9-point advantage in 2024 to 12 points by May 2025. He also highlighted the Republicans’ increasing support from middle-class voters, suggesting that economic dissatisfaction continues to pose major challenges for Democrats.
