Summary

Public identification and accountability for ICE and CBP officers. This bill would require every ICE and CBP officer or employee engaged in law enforcement or immigration enforcement to wear a clearly visible, scannable QR code that links to an official DHS website. The site would display the officer's full name, badge number, agency and operational unit, and a timestamped active status. It may show a photo, must not display home address or phone numbers, and must include a secure complaint form and aggregated, non‑personally identifiable complaint totals.

QR ID badges for immigration officers

If enacted, the bill would require ICE and CBP officers who do enforcement to wear a visible, scannable QR code on their uniform. This would begin no later than 180 days after enactment. The QR code would link to a DHS website showing the officer's full name, badge number, agency and unit, and an active status with a timestamp. The site could show a photo but could not show an officer's home address, phone number, or other personal contact information. The site would include a secure way to submit complaints about officer conduct and would publish aggregated complaint counts for each officer. The bill would not replace other federal, state, or local laws or policies that provide additional transparency or accountability.
