Creates new federal crime for interfering with immigration officers
This bill, called the Halo Act, would create a new federal crime for people who get in the way of federal immigration officers. If someone gets a warning and then knowingly approaches or remains within 25 feet of an officer with the goal to stop, threaten, or bother them, they could face fines or jail time. This would give immigration officers a specific legal tool to address such actions.
If this bill becomes law, it would create a new federal crime, making it unlawful to knowingly approach or remain within 25 feet of a federal immigration officer after a warning, with the intent to impede, threaten, or harass them. Violators could face fines, up to 5 years in prison, or both.
