WASHINGTON – This week, U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) joined the Halo Act, which would help protect federal law enforcement from violence and harassment when conducting official duties. The legislation establishes a 25-foot buffer zone around first responders to ensure their safety and allow them to do their jobs without interference or distraction.
“Patriotic Americans are thankful for the work of federal law enforcement and what they are doing to clean up our streets,” Sen. Tuberville said. “‘America Last’ radicals are targeting federal agents because they’re enforcing our laws, and I will continue to support our law enforcement until every single illegal has been deported. If you’re going to interfere with law enforcement’s ability to do their jobs in any way, don’t be surprised if you are arrested and thrown in jail.”
