Bill > S512

This bill, named the "Agent Raul Gonzalez Officer Safety Act," introduces new criminal and immigration penalties for individuals who intentionally flee from federal, state, or local law enforcement officers while operating a motor vehicle within 100 miles of the United States border. Under the proposed law, a person committing such an offense could face imprisonment of up to 2 years and/or fines, with significantly enhanced penalties if the fleeing results in serious bodily injury (5-20 years imprisonment) or death (10 years to life imprisonment). Additionally, the bill would make individuals who commit this offense inadmissible to the United States, deportable if they are non-citizens, and ineligible for immigration relief, including asylum. The legislation requires the Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretary of Homeland Security, to submit an annual report to Congressional judiciary committees detailing the number of violations, charges, apprehensions, and penalties related to this specific offense. The bill aims to strengthen law enforcement's ability to prevent and penalize individuals who attempt to evade arrest or detention near the U.S. border.
