Immigration officers would need to show ID and use marked vehicles during enforcement.

This bill would require federal immigration officers to clearly show their identity and use marked vehicles during civil immigration enforcement actions. Officers would need to be unmasked, show their badge, wear a uniform, and verbally identify themselves. This aims to help the public distinguish real officers from impersonators, making interactions clearer for people involved.

What Would Change

Today, federal money can be used for civil immigration enforcement without requiring officers to show their identity or use clearly marked vehicles. This bill would change that by blocking federal funds for such actions unless officers are unmasked, verbally and visibly identify themselves with agency ID and uniform, and use clearly marked vehicles. Exceptions would be made for medical reasons or approved undercover operations.

Key Provisions

Blocks federal money for civil immigration enforcement if officers wear masks that hide their identity.
Requires vehicles used in civil immigration enforcement to clearly show the agency's name.
Requires immigration officers to verbally and visibly show their agency ID, badge, and uniform during enforcement actions.
Allows officers to wear masks if medically necessary.
Permits masks in approved undercover operations that meet specific safety and risk criteria.
