IEIS Act

This plan sets clear rules for immigration enforcement officers during public actions. When officers from CBP, ICE, or local partners acting under federal authority carry out things like patrols, stops, arrests, raids, checkpoints, or serving warrants, they must show their last name, a unique ID, their agency’s name, and keep their face visible. This is meant to make officers identifiable to the public during these interactions . There are exceptions for undercover work, certain high‑risk tactical operations, or when safety rules require face coverings, like specific protective gear .

It also lets federal agencies pay back eligible employees—such as immigration officers and certain family living with them—for up to 100% of the cost of services that help protect their personal data online. Employees must provide documentation, and this reimbursement can use funds starting in fiscal year 2026 and after. The plan does not stop lawful press reporting, sharing of information on matters of public concern, or information that the employee or employer posts online after the law takes effect .
