What it does
The bill would prohibit immigration officers and agents from the Department of Homeland Security—including those from ICE and CBP—from wearing any clothing, accessories, or items bearing the word "police" while performing immigration enforcement duties. It amends Section 287 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to enforce this restriction. The measure aims to prevent deceptive practices by ensuring immigration officials are not mistaken for traditional law enforcement officers. It applies specifically to personnel carrying out duties under federal immigration laws.
