A bill to amend chapter 93 of title 18, United States Code, to prohibit obstruction of immigration laws by official interference.

This bill would amend federal criminal law to prohibit government officials from obstructing the enforcement of immigration laws through official interference. If enacted, the legislation would create criminal penalties for federal, state, or local officials who use their official positions to impede immigration law enforcement activities. The practical effect would be to establish legal consequences for officials who take actions—such as directing agencies not to cooperate with immigration authorities or preventing enforcement operations—that obstruct immigration law enforcement. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been introduced in the Senate in January 2026 and referred to committee for consideration. It has not yet been voted on by the full Senate.
