IEIS Act
Latest action (31 Jul 2025): Introduced
What this bill does
S. 2594, the Immigration Enforcement Identification Safety Act of 2025 (IEIS Act), would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to require certain immigration enforcement personnel to visibly display identifying information while performing public-facing enforcement duties. Specifically, officers from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and others authorized to carry out immigration enforcement—along with law enforcement officers directly supporting them—would need to show their last name, a unique identifier, their agency's name, and their face during actions such as stops, arrests, searches, raids, checkpoints, or warrant service. Exceptions would apply for undercover work, high-risk tactical operations, or situations requiring face coverings under existing federal safety regulations.
The bill would also let federal agencies use existing appropriated funds, starting in fiscal year 2026, to reimburse covered employees—defined as at-risk immigration officers and certain family members—for up to 100% of costs for privacy-enhancing technology services, subject to documentation requirements. The bill clarifies that it does not limit lawful press investigation, public-interest disclosures about a covered employee, or information voluntarily published online by the employee or employer.
The measure primarily affects DHS immigration enforcement personnel, their supporting law enforcement partners, and the individuals and communities they interact with during enforcement actions, by increasing transparency about officers' identities while also allowing funded privacy protections for at-risk officers and their families.
Introduced July 31, 2025, by Sen. Mark Warner with several cosponsors, the bill was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. It has not yet received a committee vote or floor action, and would need to pass both chambers and be signed by the President before becoming law.
