PRICE Act

The PRICE Act (S 2269) increases penalties for assaulting, resisting, or impeding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers or employees. It would double the maximum prison sentence and adjust the fine for such offenses when committed against ICE personnel, as specified in amended federal law (18 U.S.C. § 111). This bill directly affects individuals convicted of violent or obstructive acts against ICE officers, making their penalties more severe than for similar crimes against other federal officers. The key provision modifies existing penalties without changing the definition of the offense or creating new requirements for ICE operations.
