House Democrats introduced legislation that if passed would force federal immigration enforcement agents to wear a public-facing identification in the form of a clearly visible and scannable QR code during enforcement actions.

The measure, H.R. 7233, was introduced last week by Rep. Ritchie Torre, a Democrat from New York, and referred to the House judiciary and homeland security committees. It currently has two cosponsors, Democratic Reps. Darren Soto and Shri Thanedar, and has taken no steps beyond initial referral.

    Pretty much. It just seems nuts that the idea of a government security force wearing masks is not a source of constant outrage from the entire political spectrum. Accountability is a basic principle of modern government.

    Even if you’re a MAGA fuckwit and agree with everything ICE is doing, you should be gravely concerned that they’re doing it while wearing masks.
