Masked immigration officials have become common, with police also covering their badge numbers during protests, hindering accountability. Scott Shuchart explained that while there are guidelines for officer attire at the Department of Homeland Security and ICE, publicly shared regulations are lacking. Additionally, a court settlement in Southern California curtails ICE's ability to present themselves as police, indicating existing conflicts in operational norms and legal issues surrounding the representation of immigration officers.
The use of masks has become routine in immigration sweeps, with officers often covering their identification, which complicates accountability for their actions.
Scott Shuchart discusses that there are general standards for officer attire in DHS and ICE, but specifics on public presentation remain undisclosed.
