Rep. Barry Moore supports legislation to deport illegals who assault law enforcement

Washington, D.C.- Today, Rep. Barry Moore voted in favor of H.R. 7343, the Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens who Assault Cops Act, sponsored by Rep. Van Drew (R-NJ). This legislation provides for the detention and deportation of illegal aliens who assault law enforcement.

On January 27, 2024, four NYPD officers were violently attacked by a group of illegal aliens. Two of these illegal aliens have yet to be arrested and four are out on bail. It has also been reported that some of the illegal aliens involved in the attack took a bus ride to the west coast using taxpayer dollars. If enacted at the time, the Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act would have ensured these illegal aliens were quickly detained, remained in detention while their case was processed, and they would have been immediately deported. 

"An illegal alien who attacks our law enforcement shows no respect for our rule of law or institutions and should be removed immediately," said Moore. "Thanks to Biden's open borders, this law is necessary to protect those who put their lives on the line daily to keep American families safe."
