Rosen Helps Introduce Bill Requiring ICE, Immigration Enforcement Agents to Clearly Identify Themselves

Washington, D.C.– U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) helped introduce legislation that would prohibit ICE officers and other federal immigration agents from concealing their identity during routine immigration enforcement operations. TheVISIBLE Actrequires these officers to clearly identify themselves with their names, badge number, or agency name, except in covert operations. This is a direct response to the Trump Administration’s widespread use of masked, plainclothes agents in immigration raids — often without badges or agency markings — who are targeting law-abiding people without accountability.
“The Trump Administration is using immigration officers wearing masks to target law-abiding immigrants, Green Card holders, and even American citizens,”said Senator Rosen.“As with any other law enforcement official, ICE officers have a responsibility to the public to act with transparency and accountability. I’m helping introduce this commonsense bill to ensure immigration officers properly identify themselves.”
Senator Rosen has consistently opposed the Trump Administration’s aggressive and unlawful mass deportation enforcement tactics while championing transparency and fairness in the immigration system. Earlier this year, she helped introducelegislation to protect sensitive locations—such as schools, hospitals, churches, and courthouses—from immigration raids, ensuring families can access essential services without fear.She also urged Senate leadership to pursuereal, bipartisan immigration reformthat balances strong border security with protections for Dreamers and immigrant families. Additionally, Senator Rosen has called on the Trump Administration toguarantee legal representationfor unaccompanied children in immigration custody, defending the basic rights of the most vulnerable.
