The resolution urges the U.S. President and Congress to enact the Visible Identification Standards for Immigration-Based Law Enforcement Act of 2025, also known as the VISIBLE Act. This legislation aims to enhance transparency and accountability in immigration enforcement by mandating that immigration enforcement officers display visible identification during public-facing actions. The resolution highlights the importance of visible identification in preventing impersonation of federal agents, thereby safeguarding the rights and dignity of individuals and ensuring that enforcement actions are conducted with respect and fairness.
The VISIBLE Act requires officers from agencies such as U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to wear identification that includes their last name or badge number and the name or initials of their employing agency. It also prohibits non-medical face coverings unless necessary for specific operational reasons. The Act includes provisions for disciplinary actions against non-compliant officers and mandates annual reporting to ensure oversight and accountability. As immigration enforcement activities are expected to increase, the resolution emphasizes the need for clear identification to protect the public and uphold constitutional governance.
