This bill amends title 18 of the United States Code to establish a new criminal offense. It specifically prohibits making the name of a Federal law enforcement officer publicly available when done with the explicit intent to obstruct a criminal investigation or an immigration enforcement operation . A Federal law enforcement officer is defined broadly to include any U.S. officer, agent, or employee involved in the prevention, detection, investigation, or prosecution of federal criminal or immigration law violations. Individuals found guilty of this offense face significant penalties, including fines, imprisonment for up to five years, or both. The legislation also includes technical amendments to existing statutes, expanding their scope to explicitly cover immigration enforcement operations alongside criminal investigations.
