US EditionImmigration Agents Demand Tenant Information From Landlords, Stirring Questions and Confusion
HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS, JUL 14 – The VISIBLE Act aims to increase transparency by requiring immigration officers to display identification amid a 700% rise in attacks on ICE agents, lawmakers say.
- Atlanta attorney Eric Teusink revealed that immigration authorities are issuing subpoenas demanding landlords provide tenant records, including leases and IDs.
- These subpoenas, some dated May 1 and signed by USCIS anti-fraud officers, raise legal uncertainties since they lack judicial approval for enforcement.
- Experts like Tulane professor Stacy Seicshnaydre warn landlords face risks of overcompliance and possible violations of the Fair Housing Act if they comply without court orders.
- Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin and others introduced the VISIBLE Act last week to require immigration officers to display clear identification and ban non-medical face coverings during enforcement.
- The subpoenas and rising attacks on ICE agents, up 700% this year, highlight tensions around immigration enforcement, with critics seeing the VISIBLE Act as insufficient reform.
