S 512 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Agent Raul Gonzalez Officer Safety Act

This bill creates a new federal offense for intentionally fleeing U.S. Border Patrol agents or assisting law enforcement while operating a vehicle within 100 miles of the U.S. border. It establishes tiered penalties: up to 2 years in prison for the basic offense, 5-20 years if serious injury occurs, and 10+ years or life if death results. The bill also links this offense to immigration consequences, making convictions trigger inadmissibility, deportability, and disqualification from seeking asylum. Additionally, it requires an annual report to Congress tracking prosecutions, apprehensions, and sentencing related to this new offense.
