States Want ICE Agents to Show Their Faces. The Trump Administration Is Blocking Them

State legislatures are proposing anti-mask laws that would require Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to show their faces during enforcement operations. Federal lawyers argue such mandates would endanger agents and cite a nonfunctional ICE face-recognition art project as part of their defense against the measures.

Why it matters: State and local policymakers debating law enforcement transparency rules need to understand federal government positions on agent visibility and safety, which affects oversight of ICE operations in their jurisdictions.
