This is a Senate resolution expressing concern about how federal law enforcement resources are being used during a time of heightened tension with Iran. The resolution argues that since February 28, 2026, when the United States initiated military action against Iran, thousands of FBI agents, Homeland Security personnel, and cybersecurity specialists have been reassigned from their core national security work—like counterterrorism, investigating cyber threats, and monitoring Iranian activities—to conduct civil immigration enforcement instead. The resolution contends that this redeployment is happening at exactly the wrong time, when the threat of Iranian retaliation through terrorism or cyberattacks is significantly elevated. The Senate is essentially saying: when Americans face a heightened risk of terrorist attacks, we shouldn't have a quarter of our FBI agents focused on arresting immigrants without criminal records. The resolution calls for these law enforcement personnel to be returned to their primary security missions while the country remains in active hostility with Iran and other state sponsors of terrorism.

A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the law enforcement agents and other personnel of the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security, who have been temporarily engaging in civil immigration enforcement operations, should be returned to their primary missions during periods of active hostility with Iran.
