Senate Republicans Demand Accountability for Assaults on Officers

Submitted by MAGA

Posted 1 day ago

**Accountability** is at the forefront as Senate Republicans push for stronger measures against illegal aliens who assault law enforcement officers.

In a decisive move, Republican senators, led by U.S. Senator Ted Budd of North Carolina, have introduced the Protect Our Law Enforcement with Immigration Control and Enforcement (POLICE) Act of 2025.

This legislation aims to classify the assault of law enforcement officials, firefighters, and first responders as a deportable offense for illegal foreign nationals.

Senator Budd made it clear that this bill is about protecting those who keep our communities safe.


“Any alien who has been convicted of, or admits to assaulting a law enforcement officer, must be deported,” he stated, emphasizing the urgency of the issue.

The push comes in the wake of a tragic incident in North Carolina, where an illegal immigrant was charged in connection with the death of a deputy sheriff—an event that galvanized lawmakers to take action.

Budd's bill has faced opposition from Senate Democrats, including Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, who dismissed it as insignificant.

However, this resistance only strengthens the resolve of Republican senators who assert that supporting law enforcement is a non-negotiable obligation.

Notably, U.S. Rep. Andrew Garbarino from New York has introduced similar legislation in the House, which gained bipartisan support.

“Our law enforcement officers are facing unprecedented challenges from a rising tide of violence,” Rep. Garbarino remarked, pointing to the need for immediate accountability for those who would harm the very people protecting our communities.

The Budd bill is backed by multiple Republican co-sponsors and includes provisions for the Department of Homeland Security to report annually on the deportation of illegal aliens who assault police officers.

Senator Ted Cruz, a co-sponsor of the bill, condemned the ongoing violence against law enforcement, calling this legislation “commonsense.”

As President Biden's administration is consistently criticized for its handling of border security and illegal immigration, the introduction of the POLICE Act raises important questions about the safety of Americans and the rule of law.

Republicans are rallying around this initiative, seeking to ensure that those who violate the law do not also escape justice.

By holding illegal aliens accountable for crimes against law enforcement, the GOP hopes to send a clear message that violence will not be tolerated, providing a path toward safer communities for all.
