Rep. Dan Goldman introduced The No Secret Police Act , which requires DHS officers and agents engaged in immigration enforcement to clearly identify themselves by wearing visible insignia and specifying the agency they work for (e.g., ICE, CBP) during detentions and arrests. It also bans the use of face coverings or non-tactical masks that conceal officers’ identities. The bill also mandates DHS to report its policies on the use of tactical gear to Congress and to research the ways to improve the visibility of officers’ identification under various conditions such as weather and time of day.
The No Secret Police Act is co-led by Representative Adriano Espaillat (NY-13).
