To amend section 287 of the Immigration and Nationality Act with respect to certain uniform requirements for United States immigration officers.

This bill would add a new subsection to the Immigration and Nationality Act (Section 287) requiring certain U.S. immigration officers to wear bold, visible identification during enforcement actions. The identification must be large (at least 12 inches by 6 inches) and placed on the front or back of the officer’s uniform, and it must not be covered by armor or other external pieces. The provision applies to personnel from Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and other officials deputized by the Secretary of Homeland Security to conduct immigration enforcement. The requirement would apply during any “time of action,” meaning during enforcement activities such as patrols, raids, pick-ups, or serving warrants. The bill is introduced in the 119th Congress and would direct DHS to implement these uniform identification standards. In short, the bill aims to increase transparency and accountability by ensuring immigration officers are clearly identifiable to the public and others during enforcement operations.
