Bill Summary
A bill to amend section 236 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to require immigration enforcement officers of the Department of Homeland Security to display visible identification during enforcement actions and provide privacy enhancing services.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Immigration Enforcement Identification Safety Act of 2025 (IEIS Act), requires immigration enforcement officers from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to visibly display identification during most enforcement actions, such as patrols, stops, arrests, and warrant services. Specifically, officers must show their last name, a unique individual identifier, their employing agency's name, and their face, with exceptions for undercover investigations, high-risk tactical operations, and situations requiring face coverings. The bill also defines "covered employees" as immigration officers and their family members who might be at risk of threats or harassment. Additionally, the legislation provides for reimbursement of privacy-enhancing services (such as technological tools that protect personal information) for these covered employees, allowing agencies to repay up to 100% of the costs of such services in fiscal year 2026 and beyond. The bill includes protections for press reporting and voluntary information disclosure, ensuring that the identification requirements do not impede legitimate public interest reporting or voluntary information sharing by employees.
