It appears that President Donald Trump may be making a move to make assaulting a police officer a federal crime.
In a series of executive orders signed by the president just after former Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions was sworn in as attorney general, Trump ordered his new top law enforcement officer to figure out how to use federal laws to “prosecute individuals who commit or attempt to commit crimes of violence against … law enforcement officers.”
The language opens up the possibility that the Federal Government may begin to prosecute suspects that assault law enforcement.
