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.
This will not work. The problem with vcard QR codes is that they are too dense. People would need to be shooting high resolution video at close distance with a steady hand for the scan to be successful. The only way this could reasonably work would be if they were wearing large micro QR codes, but not all scanners can read those.
