This bill, known as the "No Anonymity in Immigration Enforcement Act of 2025," aims to increase transparency regarding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents during enforcement operations. It explicitly prohibits agents from wearing any form of facial covering that conceals or obscures their identity, such as masks or tactical gear, while conducting activities like arrests, detentions, or investigations. Instead, agents would be required to wear clothing that clearly displays their name and their affiliation with ICE. There are specific exceptions to these requirements, allowing agents to wear facial coverings or protective gear when responding to an imminent threat to life or serious bodily harm , or when safety or medical protocols necessitate it. Following the use of such an exemption, a supervisor must review and document its appropriateness within 48 hours, initiating disciplinary action if the use is deemed inappropriate. The Secretary of Homeland Security is tasked with establishing compliance procedures, including disciplinary reviews for violations and a system for accepting and reviewing public complaints, with an annual report to Congress on these actions and complaints.
