A handful of elected officials touted the MELT ICE bill on Wednesday, which would force Feds to unmask; however, its implementation inside immigration court remains murky.
Assemblymember Tony Simone, sponsor of the Mandating End of Lawless Tactics or (MELT) bill, along with Comptroller Brad Lander, Borough President Mark Levine, Assemblymember Jo Anne Simone, and Assemblymember Grace Lee, gathered outside of 26 Federal Plaza on July 9 to officially unveiled the legislation, which would force federal officers to unmask and have their identification clearly displayed.
