A group of Republican lawmakers has introduced a bicameral bill to combat China’s efforts to establish secretive police stations on American soil.

Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-Iowa), who sits on the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, introduced the Expel Illegal Chinese Police Act of 2025 (H.R.2127) on March 14. The committee’s chairman, Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.), co-led the bill.
