Latest action on S. 3675: Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people charged with attacking or interfering with federal officers, especially when a vehicle is involved. It also affects federal officers, including ICE agents, because it changes the penalties tied to attacks against them. Judges and prosecutors would also feel the change because some vehicle-injury cases would carry required minimum prison time.

Why this matters: The bill matters because it could make prison sentences much longer when people use vehicles or other dangerous weapons against federal officers. Today, judges have more room to decide the sentence in many cases. This bill would set required minimums for some vehicle attacks that cause injury. Its effect on safety, charging decisions, and prison numbers is uncertain.
