Washington D.C. — New Mexico Representative Yvette Herrell (R) is expected to introduce a bill this week that would make it a federal crime for someone to murder a federal, state or local law enforcement officer. The Defending Our Defenders Act of 2021 would mandate any person convicted to serve life in prison or receive the death penalty according to Fox News. Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton (R) will join Herrell to introduce a companion bill in the Senate. Cotton told Fox News the bill “will subject those who murder police to a punishment they deserve, life in prison or the death penalty.”
