Preventing Fraudulent ICE Impersonation Act of 2025

HR 4652 makes it illegal for non-ICE personnel to wear, display, or sell apparel, badges, or insignia bearing "ICE" or "Immigration and Customs Enforcement" in a way that could deceive the public into believing they are federal officers. Violators face criminal penalties of up to 7 years in prison for impersonation or civil fines of $100,000 per violation for selling fake ICE gear. The bill also requires the Department of Homeland Security to establish public awareness campaigns, a national reporting hotline and online portal for suspected impersonation, and mandates regular studies on the issue. It directly affects individuals posing as ICE officers, businesses selling counterfeit gear, and communities impacted by such fraud.
