Since launching a rigorous immigration enforcement campaign in Southern California, the Trump administration has faced protests, litigation, and proposed bills from state officials. Despite these responses, significant changes in federal tactics appear unlikely. Legal experts are concerned about the methods used by immigration agents, particularly their approach of detaining and interrogating individuals indiscriminately. New legislation aims to require visible identification for law enforcement to address public confusion over immigration agents' identities during enforcement activities.
"They detain everybody and interrogate them all and then just figure out afterward who's unlawfully present, and that's blatantly illegal."
"While ICE has publicly condemned impersonations, the agency's use of face coverings and lack of consistent, visible identification creates public confusion and makes it difficult for the public to distinguish between authorized law enforcement personnel and dangerous criminals."
