The Protecting Law Enforcement from Doxxing Act makes it a federal crime to publicly release the name of a federal law enforcement officer with the intent to obstruct a criminal investigation or immigration enforcement operation. The law applies to any officer, agent, or employee of the U.S. government authorized to investigate or prosecute violations of federal criminal or immigration law. Anyone convicted of violating this prohibition faces up to five years in prison, a fine, or both. The bill makes technical updates to federal law to ensure these offenses can be prosecuted as obstruction of justice and used in related legal proceedings. The legislation was introduced in June 2025 and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
