U.S. Senators introduce legislation increasing penalties for assaults on first responders, following recent violent attacks in Idaho.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senators Jim Risch, Mike Crapo, and Eric Schmitt have introduced the Graham Hoffman Act, aimed at making it a federal crime to assault first responders. The bill is a response to a recent violent attack on first responders in North Idaho that resulted in the deaths of two firefighters and left another injured.
Senator Risch noted the act "is commonsense legislation" to penalize those who harm first responders, while Senator Crapo emphasized the need for stronger laws to deter such violence. The legislation is named in honor of Graham Hoffman, a firefighter-paramedic who was killed in April 2025.
In addition to Risch and Crapo, the bill is co-sponsored by several other senators from both parties. The effort seeks to ensure that offenders face significant federal penalties for their actions against those who serve the community.
