Updated: Apr 8, 2025
Summary
This legislation proposes to strengthen federal law concerning the obstruction of justice by significantly increasing the penalties for certain protest activities. It specifically targets actions such as picketing or parading in or near court buildings or the residences of judges, jurors, witnesses, or other court officers , when done with the intent to influence or obstruct justice. The bill amends section 1507 of title 18, United States Code, which currently sets a maximum imprisonment of one year for such offenses. Under this proposed change, the maximum penalty for these actions would be increased to five years of imprisonment, aiming to provide a stronger deterrent against attempts to intimidate or improperly influence the judicial process.
