Bill > HR5113

This bill, known as the "Protect and Respect ICE Act" or "PRICE Act", proposes to amend existing federal criminal law by increasing the penalties for assaulting, resisting, or impeding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers or employees. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 111 of Title 18 of the United States Code by adding a new subsection that doubles the maximum imprisonment term for any person who commits such offenses against an ICE officer or employee. The bill effectively creates a more severe criminal penalty for actions that interfere with or harm ICE personnel, signaling a legislative intent to provide additional legal protection and deterrence for these specific federal law enforcement workers. By increasing both potential imprisonment time and corresponding fines, the bill aims to discourage potential attacks or resistance against ICE officers in the course of their official duties.
