Visible Identification for Immigration Officers: Increased Transparency and Accountability
New rules require immigration enforcement officers to always display visible identification during public actions. This aims to increase transparency and accountability, making it easier for citizens to identify officers and report any complaints. Citizens will be able to more easily verify who is conducting a check or arrest.
Key points
All immigration officers must wear visible identification (last name or badge number and agency name) during public enforcement actions.
Identification information must be clearly visible, legible from 25 feet, and not obscured.
Face coverings like masks or balaclavas are prohibited if they obscure identification or the officer's face, unless operationally necessary for covert actions or hazardous conditions.
The Department of Homeland Security will discipline officers who fail to comply with these requirements.
The Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties will receive and investigate public complaints regarding violations of these rules.
