Agent Raul Gonzalez Officer Safety Act

S 2869, the Agent Raul Gonzalez Officer Safety Act, creates a new federal crime for intentionally fleeing U.S. Border Patrol officers or assisting law enforcement near the U.S. border while operating a motor vehicle. It imposes penalties including up to 2 years in prison for the basic offense, 5-20 years if serious injury occurs, and 10 years to life if death results. Individuals unlawfully present in the U.S. who commit this offense become permanently ineligible to apply for any legal status, including asylum. The bill also requires the Attorney General to annually report to Congress on prosecutions and penalties under this new provision.
