Bill > S2269

This bill, known as the Protect and Respect ICE Act (PRICE Act), seeks to increase criminal penalties for individuals who assault, resist, or impede U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers or employees. Specifically, the bill amends Section 111 of Title 18 of the United States Code by adding a new subsection that doubles the maximum prison term for any person convicted of committing such an offense against an ICE officer or employee. The legislation effectively creates a more severe punishment tier for actions that interfere with or attack ICE personnel, signaling a legislative intent to provide heightened legal protection for ICE officers in the course of their official duties. By increasing both potential imprisonment duration and corresponding fines, the bill aims to deter potential acts of violence or obstruction against ICE law enforcement professionals.
