This bill mandates that immigration enforcement officers, including those from U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, visibly display their last name, a unique identifier, their employing entity, and their face during public-facing immigration enforcement functions. These functions encompass activities like patrols, arrests, searches, and checkpoints, but specifically exclude covert operations. However, the identification requirement does not apply to officers engaged in undercover investigations, planned tactical operations involving high-risk situations, or law enforcement functions that necessitate face coverings. Furthermore, the legislation authorizes federal agencies to reimburse certain employees, including immigration officers at greater risk of threats and their immediate families, for up to 100% of the costs associated with privacy-enhancing services . These services are defined as technological means to mitigate privacy risks by reducing or suppressing personal information. The bill explicitly states that it does not restrict lawful press investigations into alleged misconduct, the disclosure of information concerning matters of public concern, or information voluntarily published online by employees or their employers.
