Democrats are doubling down on legislation forcing immigration agents to show their faces in public, even as the attacks against them pile up.
Democratic Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey and Alex Padilla of California introduced a bill Tuesday that, if passed and signed into law, would prohibit Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and other federal immigration authorities from wearing face masks during most enforcement operations. Their legislation was introduced just four days after armed men allegedly orchestrated an attack against an ICE facility.
“For weeks, Americans have watched federal agents with no visible identification detain people off the streets and instill fear in communities across the country,” Booker said in a press release about his legislation, dubbed the “Visible Act.”
“The VISIBLE Act is a necessary response grounded in law enforcement best practices that will prohibit immigration enforcement officers from wearing face coverings and require them to display their name or badge number and the agency they represent,” Booker continued.
Neither Padilla’s or Booker’s office responded to requests for comment from the DCNF.
