Recent proposals at both state and federal levels aim to prohibit federal immigration enforcement agents from wearing masks and mandate identifiable clothing. Concerns have intensified in communities, notably in California, regarding agents in plain clothes who may be arresting undocumented individuals. This situation creates confusion and fears about the legitimacy of law enforcement personnel. Supporters of the bills argue that without visible identification, agents may act without accountability. Legal experts urge lawmakers to consider making the regulations applicable to all levels of law enforcement to ensure constitutionality.

Legal experts note that targeting only federal agents with such regulations may be unconstitutional, but broader protections for all law enforcement could be considered valid.
