Bill overview
This bill, titled the Agent Raul Gonzalez Officer Safety Act, creates new federal crimes for individuals who intentionally flee from pursuing law enforcement officers – specifically U.S. Border Patrol agents or officers assisting them – while operating a motor vehicle within 100 miles of the U.S. border. It establishes escalating criminal penalties, including mandatory minimum prison sentences and potential life imprisonment, depending on the severity of the incident, such as causing serious bodily injury or death. Furthermore, the bill introduces immigration consequences for those convicted of this offense, making them inadmissible, deportable, and ineligible for asylum.
