Dossier Legislative introduced 25-feb-2026
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

Stop Illegal Alien Cops Act

Key claim: The Stop Illegal Alien Cops Act (S3909) would prohibit undocumented immigrants from serving as law enforcement officers.

Abstract

(S3909 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-02-25): Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.

Why this matters

The bill would formalize a federal immigration-status bar on law enforcement employment, which currently varies by state and agency. If enacted, it would affect DACA recipients and other work-authorized non-citizens who have been hired as officers in some jurisdictions, and would interact with sanctuary-jurisdiction debates over the role of immigration status in policing.
