To prohibit Federal funds from being made available to any law enforcement agency that employs an alien as a law enforcement officer, and for other purposes.
The Citizen-Only Police Act of 2024 would prohibit the use of federal funds by any law enforcement agency that employs non-citizens as police officers. The bill would affect police departments and sheriffs' offices across the country by cutting off federal funding if they hire or employ aliens in law enforcement positions. The legislation does not specify an amount of funding at stake or include implementation timelines. The bill appears designed to enforce citizenship requirements for law enforcement personnel by using federal funding as leverage. The measure was introduced in August 2024 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
