Would make people who harm police animals unable to enter or stay in the U.S.
This bill, called the BOWOW Act of 2025, would make it harder for certain individuals to enter or remain in the United States. It would specifically target people who have harmed animals used by law enforcement, such as police dogs. If signed into law, these individuals would be considered inadmissible or deportable.
Today, harming a police animal is not a specific reason to be denied entry to the U.S. or to be deported. If this bill becomes law, people who are not U.S. citizens and have harmed a police animal would be specifically blocked from entering the country or could be removed.
