Halo Act

This bill would create a new federal crime for obstructing immigration enforcement. It would be illegal for a person who has received a verbal warning not to approach from a federal immigration enforcement officer to knowingly approach or stay within 25 feet of that officer. The crime applies only if the person intends to interfere with the officer's legal duty, threaten the officer with physical harm, or harass the officer. A person convicted could be fined, imprisoned for up to 5 years, or both.
