HR2127-119

What This Bill Does

The Expel Illegal Chinese Police Act targets Chinese public security and United Front activity in the United States. After enactment, the President must impose IEEPA property-blocking sanctions on PRC provincial, municipal, or other police departments or law enforcement institutions, including Xinjiang and Fujian provincial police departments, their senior leaders, persons directly associated with establishing or maintaining a Chinese police presence in the United States, persons acting under PRC public security direction or control, and persons acting under United Front Work Department direction or control to covertly monitor or intimidate people in the United States. The President must also impose immigration sanctions on covered aliens, including employees of covered police institutions or United Front-linked actors, their immediate family members, and people directly associated with establishing or maintaining Chinese police or United Front presence in the United States. Covered aliens are inadmissible, ineligible for visas or other entry documentation, ineligible for admission, parole, or other INA benefits, and have existing visas revoked immediately. Waivers are limited to 30-day periods with a certification to Congress at least 15 days before taking effect when vital to U.S. national security. The bill applies IEEPA penalties and directs federal agencies not to participate in non-U.S.-initiated investigations of covered foreign persons unless vital to the health, safety, and well-being of U.S. citizens.

Who Benefits and How

Chinese diaspora dissidents in the United States benefit from sanctions targeting covert monitoring and intimidation by PRC-linked police or United Front actors. U.S. national security agencies benefit from a mandatory sanctions framework for overseas Chinese police activity. Human rights advocates benefit from property blocking and visa sanctions tied to Xinjiang, Fujian, and other PRC law enforcement institutions. Congress benefits from advance certification requirements for national-security waivers.

Who Bears the Burden and How

PRC police departments and senior leaders face blocked property and prohibited U.S. transactions. United Front Work Department operatives face sanctions when linked to covert monitoring or intimidation in the United States. Covered Chinese police employees and immediate family members face visa ineligibility, inadmissibility, and visa revocation. The President and federal agencies must administer sanctions, waivers, IEEPA penalties, and limits on foreign-initiated investigations.
