What this amendment would do

As your congressional analyst, let's break down what this amendment is all about in plain English.

Mr. Peters put forward SA 2802, which sets aside money so we can hold our Department of Homeland Security law enforcement officers properly accountable while they are out doing their jobs.

Here is what the amendment aims to do:

  • Appropriates $75,000,000 for fiscal year 2025 to the Secretary of Homeland Security.
  • Uses this money to buy appropriate identification markers so that the uniforms of all sworn Department of Homeland Security law enforcement officers visibly display their name or another unique identifier, along with the name of their Federal agency.
  • Requires these markers to be visibly displayed during operations or activities directed by the Department or its components.
  • Exempts officers from this display requirement only if they are conducting undercover activities or protective services in the regular performance of their duties.
  • Pays for this by reducing the amount appropriated by section 90007 by $75,000,000.
