Requiring immigration agents to display clear identification and avoid concealing their faces while making public arrests is a reasonable step to promote transparency and accountability. The proposed VISIBLE Act seeks to address legitimate concerns about agents obscuring their identities and spreading fear during enforcement operations. This practice erodes public trust and enables bad actors to impersonate officers, compromising safety. While allowing exceptions for undercover work or hazardous conditions, the bill ensures immigration enforcement remains visible to the public it serves. This visibility deters potential abuse and misconduct while upholding the principles of open government. For these reasons, I urge your support for the VISIBLE Act to bring much-needed transparency to immigration enforcement protocols.
