H.R. 3828 would prohibit DHS immigration officers — including ICE and CBP agents — from wearing clothing or gear labeled "police" while carrying out immigration duties. The bill changes uniform rules only; it does not expand or limit officers' legal authority.

Who this affects: This bill directly affects DHS officers who carry out immigration enforcement, the agencies that outfit them, and the communities those officers interact with.
Why this matters: When immigration officers wear "police" on their uniforms, people may confuse them with local cops and react differently — for example, opening their door thinking it is a routine police visit. This bill tries to make sure people know exactly which agency is at their door and under what authority. However, the bill has no penalties for violations and does not address other law-enforcement-style markings.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
