H.R. 3828 would prohibit immigration enforcement officers from the Department of Homeland Security—including those from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection—from wearing clothing or accessories labeled with the word "police" while performing their duties. The bill's sponsors argue that immigration officers are not police officers and that wearing such clothing is deceptive to the public. The legislation would apply to all DHS immigration enforcement personnel and takes effect upon passage, with no specific funding requirements or implementation timeline specified in the bill text. The measure affects immigration enforcement agencies and the people they interact with, and aims to increase transparency about the nature of immigration enforcement operations.
