An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Legislate transparency for federal law enforcement conduct

84 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!

Members of Congress must take action to stop deceptive tactics by federal law enforcement agencies like ICE. It is unacceptable for agents to impersonate police officers, use intimidation tactics, or lie to gain entry into people's homes. This violates fundamental rights and erodes trust in law enforcement. Congress should pass legislation requiring all federal agents to clearly identify themselves and their agency when interacting with the public. They must present proper identification and warrants upon request. Using disguises or providing false information should be expressly prohibited. Stringent penalties need to be in place for officers who violate these protocols. The reprehensible behavior of impersonating local police puts communities at risk and undermines public safety. Law-abiding residents should not have to fear deception from those sworn to uphold the law. Transparency and accountability measures are desperately needed to rein in these unconscionable tactics that breed mistrust. Protecting civil liberties is a core American value. Congress has both the authority and the moral imperative to take decisive legislative action. Clear rules and consequences must be codified to compel federal agencies to act with honesty and respect citizens' constitutional rights during enforcement operations. Preserving the public's faith requires decisive reform.
