The bill creates a new federal crime for intentionally fleeing a pursuing federal officer while driving a motor vehicle within 100 miles of the U.S. border. The offense covers fleeing a U.S. Border Patrol agent acting under lawful authority, or any federal, state, or local officer assisting or under Border Patrol command. Penalties escalate with harm: up to 2 years in prison for the base offense, 5 to 20 years if serious bodily injury results, and 10 years to life if a death results. The bill also makes any noncitizen convicted of, or who admits, this offense inadmissible and deportable, and ineligible for immigration relief including asylum. The Attorney General and DHS must submit an annual report to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees on the number of violations, charges, apprehensions, and penalties.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 10 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 28 quarterly reports filed by 1 lobbying firm and by 9 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
5 of them, in no ranking: National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL); Federation for American Immigration Reform; The Sentencing Project; American Civil Liberties Union; Southern Poverty Law Center. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 5 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
