Expel Illegal Chinese Police Act of 2025

United States119th CongressS-49Senate
Updated: Jan 9, 2025

Summary

This bill, titled the "Expel Illegal Chinese Police Act of 2025," requires the President to impose sanctions on certain foreign persons and aliens associated with police departments in the People's Republic of China. The primary goal is to counter efforts by Chinese entities to establish a police presence or covertly monitor and intimidate individuals within the United States. Targeted entities include provincial, municipal, or other jurisdictional police departments in China, their senior leadership, and those directly involved in establishing or maintaining a Chinese police presence in the U.S., or acting under the direction of the United Front Work Department for covert activities. The sanctions described in the bill involve two main components. First, the President must exercise powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to block and prohibit all transactions in property and interests in property of the targeted foreign persons. Second, certain aliens, including employees of the sanctioned departments, their immediate family members, and those associated with establishing a Chinese police or United Front Work Department presence in the U.S., will be deemed inadmissible for visas, admission, or parole , and any existing visas will be revoked. The President retains the authority to waive these sanctions on a case-by-case basis for national security interests, and federal agencies are generally prohibited from participating in investigations not initiated by the U.S. government concerning these foreign persons.
