Law

Senator Cornyn introduced a bill that would significantly increase prison time for anyone who uses a motor vehicle to injure a federal law enforcement officer, including ICE agents.
Under this proposal, using a car or truck to cause any bodily injury to an officer would result in a mandatory minimum sentence of at least 5 years in prison.
For more severe injuries, the mandatory prison time would increase to at least 7 or 10 years, depending on how badly the officer was hurt.
The bill also doubles the maximum penalty for using any dangerous weapon against a federal officer, raising it from 20 years to 40 years in prison.
This change aims to protect agents by creating a stronger deterrent against using vehicles as weapons during arrests or other law enforcement activities.
