Summary

This resolution highlights a heightened national security threat environment following United States strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and subsequent hostilities with Iran. It asserts that the Trump administration diverted thousands of federal law enforcement agents from critical national security roles, such as counterterrorism , cybersecurity , and counterintelligence , to civil immigration enforcement operations. This diversion included personnel from the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, significantly increasing the risk of retaliatory terrorist attacks in the United States and abroad. The resolution expresses the sense of the Senate that these law enforcement agents and other personnel from the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security should be returned to their primary missions. This redeployment is specifically urged for those whose main focus is national security and who were temporarily reassigned to civil immigration enforcement since January 20, 2025. The intent is to ensure these critical resources are dedicated to their original functions during periods of active hostility with Iran and other state-sponsors of terror.
