Protecting American Sovereignty

In a move to safeguard American sovereignty, Senator Tom Cotton has reintroduced the Expel Illegal Chinese Police Act of 2025. This legislation aims to counter the growing threat of unauthorized Chinese police outposts operating within U.S. borders. The act comes in response to increasing concerns about foreign governments, particularly China, establishing secret police stations on American soil.

The reintroduction of this act follows a significant development in the ongoing investigation into Chinese police activities in the United States. Recently, a man pleaded guilty to charges related to operating a secret Chinese police station on American soil, highlighting the urgency of addressing this issue. Senator Cotton’s legislation seeks to impose sanctions on Chinese police departments and individuals involved in establishing an unauthorized police presence in the country.

Countering Chinese Communist Party Influence

The Expel Illegal Chinese Police Act of 2025 is designed to tackle the broader issue of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) influence within the United States. It targets not only the physical presence of unauthorized police stations but also individuals acting under the direction of the United Front Work Department, a CCP organization known for monitoring and intimidating people abroad.

“No foreign government has the right to operate secret police stations on American soil. The Chinese Communist Party’s actions undermine international norms and human rights by circumventing legal extradition processes and engaging in intimidation tactics. This legislation sends a clear message: the United States will never tolerate illegal operations that violate our sovereignty and intimidate individuals living within our borders,” Senator Cotton said.

The legislation proposes a range of measures to combat these illegal activities. These include imposing sanctions on Chinese police institutions and associated individuals operating in the U.S., as well as revoking visas of those involved in such activities. By targeting both the organizations and individuals, the act aims to dismantle the infrastructure supporting these unauthorized operations.

Protecting Individual Rights and National Security

Senator Cotton’s legislation emphasizes the protection of individual rights and national security. The presence of unauthorized foreign police stations on U.S. soil raises significant concerns about the intimidation of individuals within American borders. By working to expel these illegal outposts, the act seeks to safeguard the rights and freedoms of all individuals residing in the United States, regardless of their national origin.
