Protecting Law Enforcement from Doxxing Act

This bill, the Protecting Law Enforcement from Doxxing Act (S 1952), makes it a federal crime to publicly release a federal law enforcement officer's name with the intent to obstruct criminal investigations or immigration enforcement operations. It defines "federal law enforcement officer" broadly to include anyone authorized to prevent, detect, investigate, or prosecute federal criminal or immigration violations. Violators face penalties including fines, up to five years in prison, or both. The law directly affects federal officers and individuals who disclose their names with obstructive intent, while updating related sections of federal law to include this new prohibition.
