100K views · 8.5K reactions | Here’s a clearer look at the VISIBLE Act, introduced on July 8, 2025 by Senators #CoryBooker (D‑NJ) and #AlexPadilla (D‑CA): • The bill mandates that federal agents from CBP and ICE must visibly display legible IDs—showing their name or badge and agency initials—during any public enforcement action . • Non‑medical masks or face coverings (balaclavas, etc.) are banned unless required for environmental safety or covert ops . • It responds directly to recent images of masked, unidentifiable ICE agents seen detaining people in public, sometimes in unmarked vehicles, causing widespread fear . • Supporters argue that it boosts transparency and public safety, noting “when federal immigration agents show up … with their face obscured and no visible identification, it only escalates tensions and spreads fear” . • It doesn’t apply to covert missions or genuine safety gear, and includes disciplinary oversight within DHS for enforcement . In contrast, former President #DonaldTrump called the bill “unpatriotic,” claiming it endangers agents and suggesting the senators “hate our country” . He argued that masked agents need anonymity to protect themselves and their families after being “doxed.” Meanwhile, DHS defended face coverings as essential for officer safety, citing real threats faced by personnel . This debate reflects broader concerns over accountability versus operational security in federal law enforcement. #CoryBooker #AlexPadilla #VISIBLEAct #CBP #ICE #transparency #accountability #maskban #federalagents #publicsafety repost @senbooker Help this information get to more voters. 🇺🇸 A well-informed electorate is a prerequisite to Democracy.—Thomas Jefferson | Vote In Or Out Here’s a clearer look at the VISIBLE Act, introduced on July 8, 2025 by Senators #CoryBooker (D‑NJ) and #AlexPadilla (D‑CA): • The bill mandates that federal agents from CBP and ICE must visibly... https://www.facebook.com/reel/691398423943835
