Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act
Would require detention of non-citizens arrested for assaulting police officers or first responders.
Tradeoff
Would mandate detention of non-citizens charged with or convicted of assaulting law enforcement. CBO estimates negligible net federal cost, though real impact falls on detained immigrants and detention-bed capacity.
What's in it
Estimated cost is between negative $500,000 and positive $500,000 over the 2024-2034 period.
The nearly zero federal cost reflects only 's administrative burden to comply with the detention mandate; the policy's real impact falls on detained immigrants through loss of federal benefits and on detention systems through increased bed occupancy.
The House passed this 265-148 on May 15, 2024. The bill expired with the 118th Congress without Senate action.
