福克斯独家： 一名参议院共和党议员计划推出一项全面立法方案，旨在打击庇护城市，并为联邦特工提供更严格的保护，以应对对特朗普政府移民行动的干扰。
密苏里州共和党议员埃里克·施密特参议员计划推出其《保护美国法案》，这是一项庞大的立法计划，将惩处庇护城市，加强对非法入境和再次入境的处罚，提高对联邦特工的保护，并削减“腐败”非政府组织（NGO）或非营利组织的资金。
该方案的目标是遏制全国范围内国土安全部（DHS）和移民与海关执法局（ICE）运作的城市中日益加剧的动荡。

施密特的立法计划出台之际，全国范围内针对移民与海关执法局的抗议活动持续进行，明尼阿波利斯的抗议尤为激烈，煽动者与联邦特工发生冲突，导致亚历克斯·普雷蒂和蕾妮·妮可·古德被枪杀。
施密特在一份声明中表示：“这种环境需要采取行动。《保护美国法案》是一项全面的四部分立法回应，旨在解决混乱的根本原因，恢复合法执法权，保护联邦官员免受有组织的干扰和暴力侵害，并防止利用非营利组织身份掩盖或支持犯罪活动。”

该方案将根据庇护城市与移民与海关执法局及联邦执法部门的合作情况来决定是否给予联邦资金。不配合的城市将被完全取消资金。
方案还要求监狱和拘留中心与移民与海关执法局协调，共享被拘留者的身份、移民身份和释放时间；如果“可驱逐外国人”在庇护城市被故意释放并犯下严重罪行，允许民众起诉其民事责任；在辖区遵守联邦移民法之前，暂停新的外国学生签证发放。
为加强对联邦特工的保护，该方案将堵塞允许人们使用哨声或其他设备干扰官员通讯的漏洞，对阻碍联邦特工职责的人处以最高五年监禁的刑罚，明确《第一修正案》保护条款，规定“本法案不禁止表达内容或合法表达行为”，并将袭击联邦特工定为联邦刑事犯罪。

施密特的立法还将通过终止“抓捕后释放”政策并强制拘留，加强对非法入境和再次入境的处罚，将非法入境定为重罪，并提高非法再次入境的处罚，包括罚款和最高两年监禁。
第四项内容旨在削弱非政府组织的影响力，撤销任何支持、煽动或提供物质支持犯罪暴力的非营利组织的免税地位。
他的立法计划出台时，参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默（纽约州民主党）和国会民主党人提出了另一套相互竞争的要求，旨在约束国土安全部和移民与海关执法局，他们要求将这些要求纳入考虑并编纂成法，以换取对目前被搁置的国土安全部拨款法案的支持。

施密特和参议院共和党人对其民主党对手的许多提案表示不满，特别是要求移民与海关执法局特工获得司法令状、在现场拆除联邦特工面罩并要求全面身份识别。
施密特表示：“我的观点是，除非我们终结庇护城市地位，否则我们不会采取任何此类措施，因为这正是问题的根源——缺乏合作。正是这种对抗造成了混乱，而在非庇护身份的蓝红地区，你看不到这种情况。所以解决方案非常明显。我认为他们这是在政治上哗众取宠。”

Sweeping bill to crush sanctuary cities, protect ICE agents unveiled in Senate
Sen Eric Schmitt’s Protect America Act would punish sanctuary cities, boost agent protections after anti-ICE protests

FIRST ON FOX: A Senate Republican wants to kneecap sanctuary cities and provide more stringent protections for federal agents in a sweeping package designed to push back against disruptions to the Trump administration’s immigration operations.
Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., plans to introduce his Protect America Act, a colossal legislative package that would punish sanctuary cities, enhance penalties for illegal entry and reentry, boost protections for federal agents, and defund “corrupt” nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), or nonprofits.
The goal of the package is to cut into the unrest simmering in cities across the country where the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are operating.

Schmitt’s legislation comes as anti-ICE protests continue around the country, most notably in Minneapolis, where agitators have clashed with federal agents, resulting in the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good.
“This environment demands action,” Schmitt said in a statement. “The Protect America Act is a comprehensive, four-part legislative response designed to address the root causes of disorder, restore lawful enforcement authority, protect federal officers from coordinated interference and violence, and prevent the abuse of nonprofit status to shield or support criminal activity.”

The package would condition federal funding to sanctuary cities based on cooperation with ICE and federal law enforcement. Cities that don’t comply would lose their funding completely.
It would also require that jails and detention centers coordinate with ICE to share the identity, immigration status and release timing for detainees, allow people to sue for civil liabilities if a “removable alien” is knowingly released within a sanctuary city and commits a serious crime, and halt new foreign student visas until jurisdictions comply with federal immigration law.
In a bid to bolster protections for federal agents, the package would close loopholes that allow people to use whistles or other devices to interfere with officers’ communications, impose penalties of up to five years in prison for people who obstruct federal agents’ duties, ensure that the First Amendment protections explicitly state that the “act does not prohibit expressive content or lawful expressive conduct,” and make assaulting a federal agent a federal criminal offense.

Schmitt’s legislation would also strengthen penalties for illegal entry and reentry into the country by ending catch-and-release and mandating detention, make illegal entry a felony, and boost penalties for illegal reentry to include fines and up to two years in prison.
The fourth prong seeks to de-fang NGOs by revoking the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit that promotes, incites, or provides material support for criminal violence.
His legislative package comes as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and congressional Democrats offered their own, competing list of demands meant to rein in DHS and ICE, which they are demanding be considered and codified in exchange for their support of the now-sidelined Homeland Security funding bill.

Schmitt and Senate Republicans haven’t taken well to many of the proposals from their counterparts, notably requiring ICE agents to get judicial warrants, de-masking federal agents and requiring full identification when in the field.
“My view is we’re not doing any of this stuff until, unless, we end sanctuary city status, because that’s what’s causing all of this, is the lack of cooperation,” Schmitt said. “It’s the confrontations that are being created, and why you don’t see this in blue or red jurisdictions that aren’t sanctuary status. So this solution is very obvious. I think there’s a political grandstanding on their part.”
