A bill introduced last week by a Democratic congresswoman aims to stop Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers from wearing clothing labeled with the word “police.”
Rep. Nydia Velázquez, who was born in Puerto Rico and represents Brooklyn, New York, says it’s deceiving for ICE agents to identify as police officers while conducting immigration raids.
“Not only are ICE raids an unconscionable attack on our most vulnerable communities, any attempt by immigration officers to deceivingly pose as local police ought to be prohibited,” Velazquez said in a statement. “I’ve heard firsthand from families who fear reporting crime or engaging with the police due to the potential of getting caught up with immigration agents. This only makes our communities less safe.”
Sarah Rodriguez, an ICE spokeswoman, said the term “police” is accurate for ICE agents, as it’s the “universally recognized term for law enforcement.”
On “Outnumbered” today, Fox News contributor Anthony Scaramucci called for lawmakers to “end the political correctness” and actually enforce federal immigration law.
