PROTECT THOSE WHO ENFORCE THE LAW Senator Ashley Moody has introduced the Halo Act, a new federal proposal aimed at protecting ICE officers and other federal immigration personnel from harassment, threats, and physical interference while carrying out their duties. Modeled after Florida’s state-level Halo Law, the bill would establish clear legal boundaries around federal immigration officers during enforcement operations. Under the proposal, once an individual is instructed to keep their distance, it would become a federal crime to knowingly come within 25 feet of an officer with the intent to impede their work, threaten harm, or harass them. Violators could face fines and prison sentences of up to five years. Supporters of the Halo Act argue the legislation is a direct response to a sharp rise in threats, doxxing incidents, and violent confrontations targeting ICE officers nationwide. They say the bill is not about limiting free speech, but about drawing a firm line between lawful protest and actions that endanger officers and disrupt lawful enforcement. Advocates emphasize that federal agents should not have to fear for their safety while enforcing laws passed by Congress. By creating consistent national protections, the Halo Act aims to ensure officers can perform their duties safely, professionally, and without intimidation. As immigration enforcement remains a flashpoint in national politics, the proposal highlights a growing push for stronger legal safeguards for law enforcement amid escalating tensions on the ground. #BreakingNews #HaloAct #ICE #LawAndOrder #PublicSafety #ImmigrationEnforcement #USPolitics #OfficerProtection
