Federal ICE raids are wrecking California communities. ICE agents without their identifications (masked and in regular cloth) are terrifying the community members, and disrupting harvesting and our daily lives. It is not only causing distress in our communities but will have economic implications. Abducting people and deporting without due-process is un-American especially when people are racially profiled.
Senator Padilla with 14 Democratic Senators including Senator Schiff, introduced S.2212, the Visible Act, to unmask ICE. While it is unlikely to to become a law, we need to thank them for fighting.
Please call and thank the Senators, and sign the petition.
When we cannot legislate at the Federal level, we have to use our Blue State with Democratic trifecta status to resist. The similar state laws are introduced in NY
State Senator Wiener sponsored SB 627, the No Secret Police Act. The bill Prohibits an officer of a local, state, or federal law enforcement agency (LEA) from wearing any mask or personal disguise while interacting with the public in the performance of their duties.
Senator McNerney is a co-sponsor. Currently bill passed Assembly Public Safety Committee on July 15.
Senators Perez aponsored SB 805, the No Vigilantes Act. The bill will require federal, state, and local law enforcement personnel operating in California to visibly display identification to the public when performing their duties, and makes a violation of this requirement a misdemeanor.
Assemblymember Ortega is a co-sponsor. Currently bill is waiting for the hearing date at Assembly Public Safety Committee.
Call and ask our representatives to become a co-sponsor.

My name is _____ and my phone number is _____. I am calling to urge the assemblymember/Senator to co-sponsor SB 627 and/or SB805. The bill will require that law enforcement officers, including ICE agents, keep their faces visible and wear identifying information. This will increase transparency, support public safety, and boost trust in law enforcement. Thank you.
