Section 1
That the House of Representatives— expresses the sense of the House that the Department of Homeland Security should require all personnel engaged in enforcement operations for United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement and United States Customs and Border Protection to wear body cameras that record interactions with the public, with footage preserved for oversight and investigatory purposes; believes that the Department should prohibit the use of masks, face coverings, or other obstructions of identity by enforcement personnel during public operations except in cases of demonstrable, immediate threat to officer safety; supports the requirement that all enforcement officers visibly display their name, badge number, and agency affiliation during public operations, consistent with the goals of H.R. 4298, H.R. 4004, and H.R. 4176; urges the Department of Homeland Security to establish independent civilian oversight boards empowered to receive complaints, review enforcement actions, and recommend disciplinary measures or policy changes; encourages the implementation of mandatory de-escalation training for all ICE and CBP officers and agents, consistent with the principles of H.R. 1678; and calls for the Justice Department to oversee ICE, thereby enabling more robust civil rights oversight and integration with existing civil liberties enforcement functions.
