Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL)

Senator Ashley Moody said, “Our men and women in uniform put their lives on the line every day to defend communities across the country and keep us safe. That is why I am working with Senator Schmitt to double the penalty for these violent attacks. Let’s pass the PRICE Act today and ensure that we have our officers’ backs, while they protect ours.”

Senator Eric Schmitt said, “While the left is focused on villainizing ICE and forcing agents to remove their masks, I’m focused on protecting these heroes who are working tirelessly to deport criminal illegal aliens and keep our communities safe. The punishment for attacking ICE agents should be swift and devastating. This is why I introduced legislation to double the federal penalty for assaulting federal immigration officials, sending a clear message to radical leftists that these attacks will not be tolerated.”

Senator Ashley Moody said, “As the wife of a law enforcement officer, former Attorney General, and now United States Senator, I have always supported and fought for the selfless individuals who protect and serve our nation. I am appalled at the news reports of people harassing and targeting federal officers while they are simply trying to do their jobs, and this must end. I’m introducing the Halo Act to enact criminal penalties for those that threaten or impede these federal officers while they are faithfully executing their duties.”

“It’s no secret that the Biden administration’s open border policies were an abject disaster. Not only did they allow for a migrant invasion, but a red carpet was rolled out for dangerous criminals to prey on vulnerable youth,” said Rep. Steube. “Among the many victims of Biden’s border crisis were tens of thousands of unaccompanied migrant children who were misplaced or lost after being processed through the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

Senator Ashley Moody said, “The days of red states subsidizing the priorities of irresponsible, inept, and radically reckless leaders in blue states is over. Taxpayer dollars should be prioritized in states like Florida, where EVERY SINGLE COUNTY has signed an agreement to help clean up Biden’s unprecedented unleashing of criminal illegal aliens into our cities. The No Community Development Block Grants for Sanctuary Cities Act is a critical step towards righting the numerous wrongs of the Biden administration and ensuring that taxpayer dollars are not being used to prop up sanctuary cities and radical agendas.”
