CLEAR ID Act

Sponsored By: Representative Crockett, Jasmine [D-TX-30]

In Committee

Summary

identity-disclosure requirements are tied to DHS funding for civil immigration enforcement. The bill blocks federal DHS funds for actions unless officers visibly and verbally identify themselves, show agency badges, and use marked vehicles, with narrow medical and approved-undercover exceptions.

Show full summary
  • Families and communities: People in areas of civil immigration enforcement would more often see officers show badges, wear agency uniforms, and use vehicles that clearly identify the agency.
  • Officers and agencies: U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and any DHS-authorized agency must avoid masks that hide identity and must label vehicles or risk funding limits.
  • Undercover operations: Masks may be allowed if medically necessary or if an undercover operation is approved using five specific risk-and-suitability factors, including risk of harm, civil liability, privacy invasion, potential unlawful conduct, and suitability of participation.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Immigration officers must show ID

If enacted, the bill would bar DHS from using federal funds for civil immigration enforcement unless officers clearly identify themselves. Officers would not be allowed to wear masks or face coverings that hide their identity. Vehicles used in operations would need visible agency names. Officers would need to show agency identification, visibly present a badge, and wear a uniform. Medically necessary face coverings would be allowed. Undercover operations could use coverings only if approved after officials consider five risks: personal injury or property harm; civil liability to the government; privacy or privilege harms; risk of unlawful conduct by participants; and whether government participation is suitable.
