This bill would make it a federal crime for non-DHS employees to wear or display ICE-labeled clothing or badges in ways that could deceive people into thinking they're real officers. It bans unauthorized manufacturing or sale of ICE-branded gear, requires seizure of illegal items, adds mandatory extra prison time for impersonation convictions, and directs DHS to launch a public awareness campaign and reporting hotline.
It affects anyone impersonating immigration officers, plus makers and sellers of costumes, tactical gear, or clothing bearing ICE logos, including online retailers and costume shops.
The bill aims to reduce fraud, intimidation, and scams linked to fake ICE officers by increasing legal risk for impersonators and unauthorized sellers of ICE-branded items.
