This bill, titled the Combating Deceptive Immigration Enforcement Practices Act of 2025, seeks to make a specific amendment to the Immigration and Nationality Act. The main focus of the bill is to prohibit immigration officers and agents of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from wearing clothing or accessories that display the word "police" while they are performing their duties related to immigration enforcement.

Intent and Implications
