What this bill would do

This bill seeks to amend section 287 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. It focuses on establishing uniform requirements for United States immigration officers. The Secretary of Homeland Security would be required to ensure covered immigration officers display bold and visible identification during a time of action. This includes specific size requirements for agency identification on the uniform. The bill defines covered officers as personnel from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and other deputized officials.
