- This concern follows reports of federal immigration agents using unmarked vehicles, civilian clothing, and masks during enforcement operations, drawing criticism since the Trump administration.
- Lawmakers including Briel propose three bills in Illinois to address ICE activity, while 21 Democratic attorneys general, led by Colorado, urge Congress to ban masked ICE agents and require visible identification.
- The attorneys general emphasized that implementing such laws is crucial to safeguard the community, maintain responsibility, and uphold the integrity and efficiency of law enforcement across all government levels.
- The debate suggests potential federal and state efforts to increase transparency and oversight of ICE, reflecting tensions between agent safety concerns and public trust demands.
