The ICE Protection Act of 2026 increases criminal penalties for assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and other federal law enforcement officers. The bill specifically targets attacks using vehicles as weapons, establishing mandatory minimum prison sentences ranging from 5 to 10 years depending on the severity of injury inflicted—5 years for bodily injury, 7 years for substantial bodily injury, and 10 years for serious bodily injury. For other types of deadly or dangerous weapons used in attacks on federal law enforcement, the bill allows sentences up to 40 years. The legislation affects anyone who assaults ICE agents or other federal law enforcement officers and expands legal protections for these enforcement personnel. No specific funding or implementation timeline is included in the bill text.
