US EditionNew bill unveiled in Manhattan would ban ICE agents from wearing masks
NEW YORK, JUL 9 – Legislation introduced by Senators Padilla and Booker aims to ban masked immigration agents, citing public fear and trust issues amid ongoing enforcement controversies.
- On June 26, baseball coach Wilder led 11 middle and high school students in Riverside Park when ICE agents approached them and questioned the kids about their origins.
- This encounter followed rising concerns about ICE agents masking their identities during enforcement, prompting Democrats to push federal and state legislation for officers to show badges and IDs.
- Civil rights groups say masked agents create fear and undermine public trust, while Garcia, who recorded agents during an unrelated arrest and was detained over 24 hours, alleges targeting due to his Latino identity.
- Legislation introduced by Senators Padilla and Booker proposes banning mask-wearing during immigration arrests because obscured identities escalate tensions and shield agents from accountability.
- These events have intensified debates about immigration enforcement tactics, with Democrats seeking transparency and Republicans controlling Congress, which may limit immediate policy changes.
