What it does
The VISIBLE Act would require immigration enforcement officers from agencies like CBP and ICE to display visible identification—including their agency name and either their last name or badge number—during public-facing immigration enforcement actions such as stops, arrests, or checkpoints. The identification must be legible from at least 25 feet, worn on the outermost garment, and not obscured by gear, with limited exceptions for covert operations or hazardous conditions. The bill also establishes accountability measures, including mandatory reporting to Congress and complaint investigations by the DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.
