Introduced
Summary
This bill would require U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection vehicles used for civil immigration enforcement to display license plates on the outside of each vehicle that are visible to the public at all times. The requirement would apply to both privately owned and government owned vehicles and would tie federal funds for purchase, lease, rent, or other use of those vehicles to the display rule, covering activities under the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101) and using a "notwithstanding" clause to supersede conflicting law.
