BLUE Act

Key Points

• The BLUE Act would make it a federal crime to share private information about federal agents if the goal is to interfere with their work. This includes sharing where an officer is located, whether they are on the clock or off duty.
• This bill targets people who try to physically block or get back at federal law enforcement. It expands current laws that protect the home addresses and phone numbers of government employees to specifically cover the physical movements of agents.
• The goal of this policy is to keep agents safe from harassment or violence while they do their jobs. It would punish anyone who posts an officer's location with the intent to stop an investigation or cause trouble for the officer.
• If passed, this law would apply to all federal law enforcement officers and their immediate families. It aims to prevent people from using personal data to track or target agents who are carrying out their legal duties.
