Which law covers Federal Employees in the case of an assault upon them?

The correct answer is that 18 U.S.C. 111 addresses assaults on federal employees. This law specifically provides federal protection against assaults, threats, and other forms of violence directed at federal officials, including law enforcement officers and federal employees performing their official duties. It establishes penalties for individuals who assault or resist federal officials during the performance of their official functions. This legal framework ensures that federal employees can operate securely and without fear of violence while carrying out their responsibilities.

In contrast, while state laws regarding assault may apply, these laws vary from state to state and typically do not extend the same level of specific protection to federal employees as 18 U.S.C. 111 does. The Uniform Code of Military Justice applies specifically to military personnel, not to federal employees in general. Lastly, 41 CFR Part 102 deals with administrative regulations and does not cover criminal assaults on employees. Thus, 18 U.S.C. 111 is the relevant law providing necessary legal protection in this context.
