What this bill would do
This bill, known as the ``Immigration Enforcement Identification Safety Act of 2025'', proposes to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act. It requires immigration enforcement officers from the Department of Homeland Security to display visible identification during enforcement actions. This identification must include the officer's last name, a unique identifier, their employing entity, and their face. The Act also provides for the reimbursement of costs for privacy-enhancing services for covered employees. These services are intended to mitigate privacy risks such as threats, intimidation, or stalking.
