Bill > HR4226

This bill, known as the ICE Act (Initiating Criminal Enforcement Act), proposes to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act by adding a new criminal penalty for individuals who interfere with immigration enforcement operations. Specifically, the bill creates a new provision that makes it a federal crime to knowingly impede or interfere with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers or employees while they are enforcing immigration laws. This interference can include actions such as destroying or damaging U.S. government property being used for immigration enforcement. Individuals found guilty of such interference could face significant legal consequences, including fines, imprisonment for up to 5 years, or both, as defined under Title 18 of the United States Code. The bill aims to strengthen legal protections for immigration enforcement personnel and create clear legal consequences for those who obstruct their work.
