52 DEMOCRATS DEMAND DHS UNMASK ICE: ENFORCE RULE REQUIRING OFFICERS IDENTIFY DURING ARRESTS

Reps. Dan Goldman and Rob Menendez, with 52 House Democrats, pressed DHS and ICE to enforce existing regulations requiring immigration officers to clearly identify themselves during arrests amid reports of masked agents operating without visible ID. Citing 8 C.F.R. §287.8(c) and prior court settlements, the letter demands oversight, complaint data, and disciplinary records by Nov. 21, 2025. Lawmakers argue non-identification endangers the public, undermines rights, and erodes trust, and they call for immediate corrective action and accountability measures.
