Democratic senators introduced a bill on Tuesday to ban immigration officers from concealing their identities while engaged in immigration enforcement activities.
The “visible act”, introduced by senators Alex Padilla of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey, comes in the wake of scenes of masked immigration agents in unmarked vehicles snatching people off the street without meaningfully identifying their agency or presenting a warrant, prompting observers to liken Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (Ice) arrests to kidnappings.
