House Democrats introduced legislation that if passed would force federal immigration enforcement agents to wear a public-facing identification in the form of a clearly visible and scannable QR code during enforcement actions.

The measure, H.R. 7233, was introduced last week by Rep. Ritchie Torre, a Democrat from New York, and referred to the House judiciary and homeland security committees. It currently has two cosponsors, Democratic Reps. Darren Soto and Shri Thanedar, and has taken no steps beyond initial referral.

    Except you MUST have a phone or other recording device available to record it.

    An ID number can be memorized.

      Or a camera. I don’t see why the QR code couldn’t have the number underneath. It doesn’t need to be a tracking device.
