H.R. 5585 would create new criminal penalties for using a motor vehicle to flee a border patrol agent within 100 miles of the United States border. Those penalties would increase if the offense resulted in death or serious injury. H.R. 5585 also would make an alien (a non-U.S. national) inadmissible to or deportable from the United States if that person admitted to or was convicted of such an offense. Lastly, the bill would require the Department of Justice to report annually to the Congress on the number of people charged with the offense specified in the bill and the sentencing outcome for each offense.
