Tuberville, Rick Scott Introduce Legislation to Prevent Doxxing Federal Law Enforcement Officers

WASHINGTON – Yesterday, U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) joined U.S. Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) in introducing the Blocking Leaks Undermining Law Enforcement (BLUE) Act of 2026 to prohibit the sharing of federal law enforcement officers’ personal location information when intended to obstruct, interfere with, or retaliate against their lawful duties. The legislation comes as violent rioters, cartels, and domestic terrorists have increased doxxing attempts against federal law enforcement — particularly against ICE and CBP personnel — since President Trump returned to office last year. “It’s increasingly clear that the Radical Left doesn’t believe in law and order and will do anything to stop the law from being enforced,” said Sen. Tuberville. “We’ve seen repeated attacks on our brave law enforcement officers, including the ICE agents who are carrying out President Trump’s agenda to remove illegal criminals. Revealing officers’ personal locations—whether they’re on duty or not—is extremely dangerous to their safety. If you do anything to put a law enforcement officer in harm’s way, your butt needs to be thrown in jail. As we recognize National Police Week this week, I’m proud to join the BLUE Act with Sen. Rick Scott to further protect those who put their lives on the line to keep us safe.” Sen. Tuberville has long championed local, state, and federal law enforcement since coming to the Senate, securing nearly $11 million dollars to bolster Alabama’s law enforcement through the appropriations process. The BLUE Act would: Create a new criminal prohibition by making it illegal to share certain protected information about a federal law enforcement officer when done with intent to obstruct, interfere with, or retaliate against their official duties or proceedings. Expand what information is protected by clarifying that for federal law enforcement officers, protected information includes not just personal details but also their current or expected physical locations, whether on or off duty. Joining Sens. Scott and Tuberville in introducing the legislation are U.S. Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Mike Lee (R-UT), James Lankford (R-OK), Ted Budd (R-NC), and Mike Rounds (R-SD). Federal Law Enforcement Officers Agency (FLEOA) endorsed the legislation. Senator Tommy Tuberville represents Alabama in the United States Senate and is a member of the Senate Armed Services, Agriculture, Veterans’ Affairs, HELP and Aging Committees. ###
