U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama has joined the Halo Act, a bill designed to protect federal law enforcement officers from violence and harassment while performing their official duties. The proposed legislation would create a 25-foot buffer zone around first responders to help ensure their safety and prevent interference or distraction.
“Patriotic Americans are thankful for the work of federal law enforcement and what they are doing to clean up our streets,” Sen. Tuberville said. “‘America Last’ radicals are targeting federal agents because they’re enforcing our laws, and I will continue to support our law enforcement until every single illegal has been deported. If you’re going to interfere with law enforcement’s ability to do their jobs in any way, don’t be surprised if you are arrested and thrown in jail.”
Senator Tuberville represents Alabama in the United States Senate, where he serves on committees related to armed services, agriculture, veterans’ affairs, health, education, labor and pensions. His background includes a career as a college football coach prior to his election to the Senate in 2020 official website.
