Senator Ashley Moody & Senator Eric Schmitt working to double federal penalty for attacking federal agents
Press release from the office of Senator Ashley Moody
WASHINGTON, D.C – Today, as ICE agents are facing a 1,153% increase in assaults over the same time period last year, Senator Ashley Moody announced that she is cosponsoring the Protect and Respect ICE Act (PRICE Act) to double the federal penalty for attacking these federal agents.
Senator Ashley Moody said, “Our men and women in uniform put their lives on the line every day to defend communities across the country and keep us safe. That is why I am working with Senator Schmitt to double the penalty for these violent attacks. Let’s pass the PRICE Act today and ensure that we have our officers’ backs, while they protect ours.”
Senator Eric Schmitt said, “While the left is focused on villainizing ICE and forcing agents to remove their masks, I’m focused on protecting these heroes who are working tirelessly to deport criminal illegal aliens and keep our communities safe. The punishment for attacking ICE agents should be swift and devastating. This is why I introduced legislation to double the federal penalty for assaulting federal immigration officials, sending a clear message to radical leftists that these attacks will not be tolerated.”
Senator Moody also recently introduced her Halo Act, legislation designed to shield federal officers from those who seek to threaten and harass them on duty.

What about all the federal agents who were attacked on January 6, 2021?
Agreed. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
I’m guessing you support the arrest and conviction of those assaulting and/or preventing ICE agents from performing their duties?
“Federal agents” need to identify themselves and present warrants or do you like living in a police state?

Too bad the illegal aliens and criminals don’t identify themselves; they’d be much easier to identify and arrest. And avoid.
Don’t most ICE agents wear identifiers? They don’t want to be doxed any more than most of the commenters here.
Joe, You mean the dozens of undercover FBI agents who stoked the crowd to do that? Why was the National Guard not allowed by the Speaker of the House when requested? Why is it that the suspected person who dropped off the pipe bombs at the DNC and RNC offices went from working in the FBI to working in the CIA and still has a job?
Everything you said has been debunked.
FBI riot?

You’ll believe anything your handlers feed you Hundred.
Joe: you’re talking about that fake insurrection?
The stealing of that election?
That was all theatre….
Trump is president now .
God bless America and our inalienable rights.
Another sucker and apparently happy that our president is a self dealing lying braggard and pig who was apperently raised in a barn. Fortunately most Americans aren’t.
Like the guy that shot a veteran in the face?
“Less than 30 percent of the people arrested in any of these operations had been convicted of a crime, an analysis of the data shows, and a very small share had been convicted of a violent crime. The most common non-violent convictions were for driving under the influence and other traffic offenses.
Daily ICE arrests in places targeted for major operations
Federal crackdowns in these areas resulted in more arrests overall, but most of the people arrested had no criminal history…
Historically, ICE worked with local law enforcement officials to take custody of immigrants held in local jails and prisons after they had served their sentences or were released. Last year, under President Joseph R. Biden Jr., 63 percent of those arrested by ICE had a criminal conviction, and 24 percent had pending criminal charges.
Under President Trump, ICE arrests of all types are up, including transfers from other law enforcement agencies, the data shows. But the greatest increase in arrests has occurred outside of these programs. In five states and Washington, D.C., a majority of the people detained by ICE this year had no criminal record.”
