This bill amends section 287 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to establish new uniform requirements for United States immigration officers, mandating that the Secretary of Homeland Security require covered immigration officers to display bold and visible identification during a time of action . This identification must be agency-specific, at least 12 by 6 inches, and prominently displayed on the uniform without being obscured by external gear. "Covered immigration officers" include personnel from U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, along with other deputized officials. A "time of action" encompasses various immigration enforcement activities such as patrols, raids, pickups, or serving warrants, ensuring clear officer identification during these operations.
