Washington, D.C. — On May 19, Rep. Barry Moore voted in support of H.R. 2494, the POLICE Act. This legislation is sponsored by Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-NY) and would make assaulting a law enforcement officer a deportable offense.

"There have been five million illegal encounters at our southern border and thousands of pounds of deadly fentanyl flowing across since Biden became President, so there's no doubt that law enforcement officers all over the country are being forced to deal with the ramifications of our open southern border," said Moore. "The POLICE Act holds migrants accountable for violent actions and gives our courageous officers the protection they deserve."
