Sen. Marsha Blackburn Introduces Bill Making It Illegal to 'Dox' Federal Law Enforcement
- On June 4, Senator Marsha Blackburn proposed legislation aimed at criminalizing the public release of information about federal law enforcement officers.
- The bill followed Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell's release of federal agents' identities during a May ICE operation, which sparked criticism from Blackburn and others.
- The legislation aims to penalize publishing officers' names with intent to obstruct investigations, holding obstructive mayors accountable and emphasizing risks to law enforcement safety.
- An individual convicted under the act faces fines and up to five years imprisonment, with Blackburn stating it protects agents from harm and political obstruction.
- The introduction of this bill triggered an official investigation into O'Connell's actions and intensified debate about the balance between transparency and law enforcement safety.
