GA SB389

ICE officers performing public immigration enforcement in Georgia must wear visible identification displaying "United States Immigration and Custom Enforcement" or "ICE" along with their last name or badge number at all times during such functions.

Identification must be legible from at least 25 feet away, visible in both daylight and low-light conditions, and worn on the outermost garment without being concealed by tactical equipment or body armor.

Public immigration enforcement functions include patrols, stops, arrests, searches, immigration status interviews, raids, checkpoint inspections, and warrant service—but exclude covert operations.

Officers are prohibited from wearing nonmedical face coverings such as masks, hoods, or balaclavas that obscure their identity, unless needed for covert operations or hazardous environmental protection.

The bill amends Chapter 1 of Title 35 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated by adding new Code section 35-1-17.1.
