Back the Blue Act of 2023

This bill creates new federal crimes for killing or assaulting law enforcement officers and public safety personnel while they're on duty or because of their status as officers. It establishes mandatory minimum sentences of 10 years for murder of officers, with higher penalties for assaults causing serious injury or using deadly weapons. The bill also creates a new offense for fleeing to avoid prosecution for killing officers and limits federal habeas corpus relief for those convicted of killing officers. Additionally, it expands law enforcement officers' authority to carry firearms in certain locations. The bill directly affects law enforcement officers, public safety personnel, and individuals who commit violent acts against them.
