Expel Illegal Chinese Police Act of 2025

The Expel Illegal Chinese Police Act of 2025 aims to stop secret Chinese police operations in the United States and punish the people and groups behind them. Once it becomes law, the President must act against Chinese provincial and city police departments, their top leaders, and anyone helping set up or keep a Chinese police or United Front Work Department presence here—especially if they try to secretly watch or scare people in the U.S. The penalties include freezing any property they have in the U.S., blocking their transactions, and denying or revoking U.S. visas. A narrow 30-day waiver is allowed if it’s vital to national security, and federal agencies are told not to join investigations that weren’t started by the U.S. unless it’s needed to protect Americans’ health and safety.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Chinese police departments and their leaders; people directed by China’s Public Security Bureaus or the United Front Work Department; employees of these groups and their immediate family members; and anyone helping build or maintain these operations in the U.S.
• What changes: U.S. assets get frozen, transactions blocked, and visas denied or revoked; agencies won’t help with outside investigations unless needed for Americans’ health and safety; breaking these rules can bring penalties under U.S. sanctions law.
• When: Starts on the date it becomes law.
