Intelligence Community Property Security Act of 2025
Summary
The Intelligence Community Property Security Act of 2025 aims to strengthen the protection of sensitive government sites by making it a federal crime to enter restricted intelligence community properties without authorization. Currently, federal law does not have a specific provision that explicitly addresses trespassing on property managed by agencies like the CIA, NSA, or FBI. This bill would amend the National Security Act of 1947 to close that gap, provided the property is clearly marked as closed or restricted.
The legislation proposes a tiered system of criminal penalties to deter repeat offenders. A first-time violation could result in a fine and up to 180 days in prison. A second offense would carry a potential prison sentence of up to three years, while a third or subsequent offense could lead to up to 10 years of imprisonment. These escalating consequences are intended to address the high security risks posed by individuals who repeatedly attempt to access classified or sensitive facilities.
If enacted, the bill would primarily affect individuals attempting to enter restricted intelligence sites and would provide federal law enforcement with clearer authority to prosecute such incursions. By establishing specific legal consequences for these actions, the bill seeks to safeguard critical national security infrastructure and prevent foreign adversaries or unauthorized persons from compromising sensitive operations.
