Trump Slams Democrat-Sponsored Bill to Make ICE Agents Show Faces, IDs
UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – Democrats seek to enhance accountability by requiring Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to display identification despite a nearly 700% rise in assaults against them, lawmakers say.
- Democratic legislators introduced the VISIBLE Act on Tuesday to require ICE and CBP agents to display visible identification and limit mask use during enforcement operations.
- The bill responds to concerns over ICE agents operating anonymously, amid a rise in attacks and doxing incidents against enforcement personnel in multiple states.
- Todd Lyons, serving as ICE acting director, justified the use of masks by agents to protect their safety following a Massachusetts crackdown that led to nearly 1,500 arrests of dangerous offenders by masked DHS personnel.
- President Trump criticized the legislation during a White House meeting, calling ICE agents 'great patriots' who wear masks to protect themselves and their families.
- The bill aims to improve accountability and transparency but faces opposition that it could endanger agents amid ongoing escalations in immigration enforcement and protests.
