#HR1057: Penalties for #protesters on #InterstateHighways

"Would create steep new penalties for #protesters deemed to be 'deliberately delaying traffic,' 'standing or approaching a motor vehicle,' or 'endangering the safe movement of a motor vehicle' on an interstate highway 'with the intent to obstruct the free, convenient, and normal use of the interstate highway.' The new federal offense would be punishable by up to $10,000 and 15 years in prison—a far harsher penalty than is the case under many states' laws, which generally already criminalize walking or standing on the highway. The bill provides an exception for 'any lawful activity' authorized by federal, state, or local law. However, it could still seemingly cover far more than 'blocking' the interstate, including a #PeacefulProtest on the shoulder of an interstate or a convoy-style, driving protest that slowed traffic. The sponsor of the bill made clear that it was in response to protesters. The same bill was introduced as HR 7349 in 2024.

Status: pending

Introduced 6 Feb 2025.

Issue(s): Traffic Interference

Representative Mike Collins Reintroduces the Safe Passage on Interstates Act

Washington, D.C. – Today, Representative Mike Collins (GA-10) reintroduced the Safe Passage on Interstates Act, which would make the intentional obstruction of interstate highways illegal.

Representative Collins

@AmandaMarcotte

"Trump is now undergoing "a retribution campaign against the American people."  Trump suffers from "a congenital sense of entitlement," whose personality is like that of "street toughs, bullies, abusive husbands and hate-crime perpetrators." ...after nearly a decade of most Americans rejecting him, a malignant narcissist like Trump would detest Americans categorically, and wish nothing more than to punish them all."

Congress Is About to Gift Trump Sweeping Powers to Crush His Political Enemies
The House is set to vote Tuesday on a bill that would let the administration destroy nonprofits it claims support terrorism.

"Donald Trump has made no secret of his desire for revenge.

"On the campaign trail, he joked about being a #dictator on 'day one' in office, pledged to jail #journalists, and threatened to retaliate against political foes who he felt had wronged him.
Now, just days after he secured a second term in the White House, Congress is already moving to hand a resurgent #Trump administration a powerful cudgel that it could wield against ideological opponents in #CivilSociety.

"Up for a fast-track vote next week in the House of representatives, the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act, also known as #HR9495, would grant the secretary of Treasury Department unilateral authority to revoke the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit deemed to be a 'terrorist supporting organization.'"
