Requires immigration officers to wear QR codes for public ID and complaints

This bill would require officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to wear a scannable QR code on their uniforms. Scanning the code would let people quickly see the officer's identification and easily submit a complaint if needed. This change would take effect about six months after the bill becomes law.

What Would Change

Today, there is no specific law requiring officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement or U.S. Customs and Border Protection to wear a scannable QR code for identification or complaints. If this bill passes, within about six months, these officers would be required to wear QR codes that link to a government website showing their work details and a way to submit complaints.

Key Provisions

Requires ICE and CBP officers to wear a clearly visible QR code on their uniform during enforcement activities.
Links the QR code to a government website showing the officer's full name, badge number, agency, and active status.
Creates a secure way for individuals to submit complaints about an officer's conduct through the linked website.
Makes public general data on the number of complaints received for each officer, without personal details.
Blocks the website from showing officers' home addresses, phone numbers, or other personal contact information.
Does not change or affect any other laws that provide more transparency or accountability in law enforcement.
