Democrats Push to Ban Masked ICE Agents
The “No Secret Police Act of 2025” has been introduced by Representatives Dan Goldman and Adriano Espaillat in response to reports of masked federal agents making arrests without proper identification, a practice that has been escalating. The legislation aims to mandate that law enforcement officers from the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement display their identity and insignia when making arrests. The bill seeks to combat the fear and confusion caused by agents concealing their faces, as well as the potential for impersonation, as concerns are raised about this practice, and its implications for public safety. The bill faces potential opposition in the Republican-controlled House, with some officials citing concerns about the safety of law enforcement officers.
