Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act
This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to take custody of any non-U.S. national (alien under federal law) who meets certain inadmissibility criteria and is arrested for, is charged with, is convicted of, or admits to assaulting a law enforcement officer, firefighter, or other first responder.
Further, the bill requires DHS to take into custody certain criminal non-U.S. nationals. Currently, this responsibility belongs to the Department of Justice.
