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.

    Useless if the traffickers aren’t unmasked, not registered with the states, keep their qualified immunity, lack body cameras that are controlled by the states, and…LIST GOES ON

    It would be much easier, cheaper, and more ethical to abolish ICE outright, and then form immigration services that are attached solely to their respective states. In turn, migrants will gravitate towards working with the states that don’t suck. Red states can have the delusion of their isolationist superiority, even as their economies falter and die.
