San Jose approves plan for ICE agents to identify themselves during operations

FEDERAL IMMIGRATION AGENTS will be required to remove masks and identify themselves in San Jose.

That’s following a unanimous decision by the San Jose City Council on Tuesday to enact the policy, with Mayor Matt Mahan absent from the vote. In addition, all law enforcement officers must wear clear identification and agency affiliation when conducting operations in the city. The San Jose Police Department will be required to inform the city manager when officers respond to incidents involving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, and require ICE to notify the police department before conducting any operations.
