What it does
The bill would require certain U.S. immigration officers to display bold and visible identification on their uniforms during enforcement actions, such as raids or patrols, to clearly identify their agency. Specifically, it mandates that officers from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and other deputized officials wear agency identification at least 12 inches by 6 inches on the front or back of their uniform, ensuring it is not obscured by external gear like armor or accessories. The requirement applies during any immigration enforcement action, aiming to increase transparency and accountability in immigration operations.
