ICE Impersonation: New Penalties for Fake Uniforms and Badges
Legislative Progress
House
Key Points
- 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.
