Subject Co-Sponsor the VISIBLE Act So ICE Agents Show Who They Are

People have a right to know who is arresting them. Police officers wear badges and name tags for exactly that reason, and immigration agents should be held to the same standard.

Instead, federal immigration agents have carried out arrests in masks and plain clothes, without showing a name or a badge number. When people can't tell a real officer from an impostor, everyone is less safe, including the agents. And when something goes wrong, an officer with a covered face and no visible name is almost impossible to hold accountable.

The VISIBLE Act would fix that. Every immigration officer doing public enforcement work, including state and local officers deputized to do immigration work, would have to display their agency and either their last name or badge number on their outer clothing. It would also bar masks and other face coverings that hide an officer's identity, with narrow exceptions such as covert operations. It was introduced in July 2025 in the Senate as S. 2212 and in the House as H.R. 4667, and it has been stuck in committee since.

Please co-sponsor the VISIBLE Act and push for a vote.

Anyone with the power to arrest people in our community should show their face and their name.
