NALC calls for Congress to act to stop crimes against letter carriers
February 05, 2026
"This week, the United States Attorney 's office for the District of New Hampshire announced that an assailant was sentenced to just 18 months in prison for aiding and abetting the robbery of a letter carrier.
Once again, a violent criminal that harmed a letter carrier has received a light sentence. Under multiple presidential administrations, the Department of Justice has proven ill- equipped to bring justice for the victims and federal sentencing guidelines for these heinous crimes remain woefully inadequate.
Congress must act now by passing the bipartisan Protect Our Letter Carriers Act to fix this broken system.
Letter carriers serve America's communities every day. The federal justice system must protect us and fulfill its core mission of bringing justice to those who violate federal law by attacking hardworking civil servants.
The 290,000 active and retired members of the National Association of Letter Carriers call on Congress to pass the Protect Our Letter Carriers Act."
- Brian Renfroe, President, National Association of Letter Carriers
