San Jose District 5 Councilmember Peter Ortiz is proposing a policy requiring ICE agents to wear visible identification during operations to increase public safety. This initiative is supported by local nonprofit Amigos de Guadalupe, as masked agents and impersonators have created fear in immigrant communities, affecting business attendance and leading to self-deportations. Although there have been no confirmed reports of impersonators in the area, the initiative aims to preemptively address potential threats. Notable incidents of impersonation across various states have raised concerns about public safety and trust in law enforcement.
Masked ICE agents and individuals impersonating them pose significant risks to community safety, prompting a proposed policy requiring visible identification for federal agents during operations.
The rise of ICE impersonators in various incidents, including sexual assault and unlawful traffic stops, has heightened fears in immigrant communities and led to decreased public activity.
