At a time of increasingly lawless actions by ICE, we are grateful for Senator Markey taking concrete steps to implement accountability measures to protect our communities with the introduction of the ‘ICE Out of Our Faces Act.’ No government official should be able to hide behind masks while violating our fundamental rights with impunity. Our privacy and security, regardless of our race, nationality, or citizenship, should not be compromised by such dangerous anti-immigrant agendas, as we have seen acted out on the streets of Minneapolis. This bill inserts crucial guardrails for protecting our democracy and we urge Congress to act swiftly to pass this legislation.
