The bill adds new identification requirements for immigration officers during enforcement actions.

  • 8 U.S.C. 1357

    (h)(1) The Secretary of Homeland Security shall require covered immigration officers to identify themselves as such officers by displaying bold and visible identification during a time of action.

    This provision requires immigration officers to visibly identify themselves during enforcement actions.

  • 8 U.S.C. 1357

    (2) For the purposes of this subsection-- (A) the term `bold and visible identification' means-- (i) identification of the agency that the covered immigration officer represents no smaller than 12 inches by 6 inches on the front or back of the uniform of such officer; and (ii) the identification described under clause (i) is not covered by external pieces of a uniform, including external armor or accessories;

    This defines what constitutes 'bold and visible identification' for immigration officers.

  • 8 U.S.C. 1357

    (B) the term `covered immigration officer' means-- (i) personnel of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection; (ii) personnel of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement; and (iii) any other official deputized by the Secretary of Homeland Security to engage in immigration enforcement actions.

    This specifies which personnel are required to display identification.

  • 8 U.S.C. 1357

    (C) the term `time of action' includes any immigration enforcement action such as a patrol, raid, pickup, or serving a warrant.
