Bill > HR4080

This bill, known as the GUARD Act (Guarding U.S. Authority for Removal and Detention Act), proposes two main changes to existing law: first, it modifies the Posse Comitatus Act to allow National Guard members to participate in immigration enforcement activities under certain conditions, such as performing state duty under a governor's orders or federal duty specifically focused on enforcing immigration laws or conducting border security operations. Second, the bill establishes new criminal penalties for assaulting immigration enforcement personnel, creating a specific offense that would result in significant prison sentences: a minimum of 5 to 20 years for assault, 10 to 30 years if bodily injury occurs, and potential life imprisonment or the death penalty if the assault results in death. These provisions apply to federal immigration enforcement agents (such as ICE and Customs and Border Protection) as well as state or local law enforcement officers assisting with federal immigration enforcement operations, aimed at providing enhanced legal protection and deterrence for immigration enforcement personnel.
