S.Amdt. 2801

Here is the common sense breakdown of what this amendment submitted by Mr. Peters does. If we want to hold officials accountable, we need to know who they are when they are doing their jobs. This amendment makes sure that basic transparency rules apply when federal money is used for immigration enforcement.

• The amendment adds an identification requirement to the bill for certain appropriated funds used for immigration enforcement purposes.

• It requires all sworn law enforcement officers doing immigration enforcement operations to clearly identify themselves as law enforcement.

• Officers must visibly display their name or other individual unique identifier and the name of their Federal agency.

• Officers must provide a warrant when required.

• There is a specific exception stating these rules do not apply to officers who are conducting undercover activities in the regular performance of their duties.
