Blocks people convicted of certain federal crimes from suing the U.S. government for specific harms.
This bill would stop people convicted of certain federal crimes, like assaulting a federal officer or interfering with elections, from suing the U.S. government for harm caused by federal officers. This means people with these convictions would lose the ability to sue for compensation, even if they were later pardoned or had their sentence reduced.
Today, people can sue the U.S. government for certain harms caused by federal law enforcement officers. If this bill passes, people convicted of specific federal crimes, such as assaulting a federal officer or interfering with federal elections, would lose this ability to sue, regardless of any pardon or sentence reduction.
