Ending Immigration Officer Anonymity: Identification Required
New rules aim to boost public safety and trust by requiring immigration officers to clearly identify themselves during operations. This means they cannot hide their faces or identities, preventing criminals from impersonating them. Citizens will find it easier to verify if they are dealing with a legitimate officer.
Key points
Immigration officers must be visibly identified (no masks, in uniform, with badge) during operations.
Vehicles used in operations must clearly display the agency's name.
Exceptions apply only for medical necessity or approved undercover operations under strict criteria.
The goal is to reduce impersonation and fraud, enhancing citizen safety.
