S 2000 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Mitigating Extreme Lawlessness and Threats Act

This bill amends federal law (18 U.S.C. §2101) governing riots by increasing penalties for violent riot-related conduct. It directly affects individuals who participate in riots, particularly those involving violence or assault on federal law enforcement officers. Key provisions establish three penalty tiers: up to 10 years in prison for basic riot violations, 1-10 years for those involving violence, and 1+ years or life for assaulting officers. The changes restructure existing subsections to clarify these enhanced punishments without creating new offenses.
