IEIS Act

The IEIS Act requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and other authorized immigration enforcement personnel to visibly display their last name, a unique identifier, agency name, and face during public immigration enforcement activities like stops, arrests, or raids. This applies to officers performing "immigration enforcement functions" but excludes undercover operations, high-risk tactical situations (e.g., active shooter responses), or mandated face coverings. The bill also allows federal agencies to reimburse covered employees - defined as immigration officers and their immediate family members living with them - for privacy-enhancing services (e.g., software masking personal information) up to 100% of costs. It directly affects immigration enforcement staff and their families by mandating transparency during public duties while providing tools to protect their personal data.
