Naming ICE Agents Could Land You in Prison Under New Senate Bill

A Republican-backed law aims to criminalize identifying ICE agents, escalating tensions between the Trump administration and “blue city” leaders.

WASHINGTON — If you say their names, you could go to prison. That’s the core premise of the Protecting Law Enforcement From Doxxing Act, a new Trump-era proposal introduced Wednesday by Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN).

Under the bill, anyone who “publicly identifies” federal immigration officers — with the alleged intent to obstruct enforcement — could face up to five years behind bars.

Blackburn’s bill is barely two pages, room enough to protect the secrecy of state violence with criminality for naming ICE agents.
