U.S. Rep. Grace Meng has introduced legislation that would require United States Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) agents to visibly display their badge, badge number and law enforcement affiliation when carrying out arrests or questioning individuals.
Meng’s legislation, introduced on July 9, seeks to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act with updates to identification requirements for ICE agents amid ongoing debate and controversy about masked ICE agents carrying out arrests and detentions.
