Georgia Democrats file ‘Fight Back on ICE’ legislation to ‘unmask’ federal agents
Georgia Senate Democrats propose four bills to require ICE agents to display identification, limit enforcement in sensitive places, and restrict National Guard deployment without governor approval.
- On Tuesday, Georgia Senate Democrats filed four bills at the Georgia State Capitol, including SB 389 requiring ICE agents to unmask, Senate Minority Whip Kim Jackson said.
- The bills were prompted by last week's fatal ICE-involved shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis and nationwide protesters and demonstrations outside the Whipple Federal Building.
- SB 389 would require ICE agents to unmask and wear visible identification, SB 391 would bar enforcement in sensitive locations without a judicial warrant, and SB 397 would create a civil cause of action in state civil courts.
- Georgia Republicans criticized the bills as unnecessary and 'ridiculous,' with Sen. Brian Strickland saying they complicate officers' duties, and the package faces little chance in the Republican-led legislature but may resonate with Georgia voters.
- The package would, if enacted, limit anonymous Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations, protect sensitive locations, expose federal agents to state civil suits, and require Governor of Georgia approval for Georgia National Guard deployments.
