Law

This bill makes it a federal crime for anyone who doesn't work for the government to wear or own ICE uniforms, badges, or logos if they are trying to act like a real officer. People caught doing this could face up to 7 years in prison.
It also bans the unauthorized making or selling of ICE-branded gear. Companies or individuals caught selling fake ICE badges or clothing could be hit with massive fines of up to $100,000 for every violation.
The government would be required to start a public awareness campaign and set up a special hotline and website so people can easily report anyone they suspect is pretending to be an immigration officer.
The goal is to stop scammers and criminals from using fake uniforms to scare or steal from people in immigrant communities. It also adds at least 6 months of extra jail time to the sentence of anyone convicted of pretending to be an immigration official.
