H.R.4843

CLEAR ID Act Combating Law Enforcement Anonymity by Requiring Identification Disclosure Act

Introduced·8/1/25

Combating Law Enforcement Anonymity by Requiring Identification Disclosure Act prohibits the use of federal funds for civil immigration enforcement.

The CLEAR ID Act mandates that federal funds for civil immigration enforcement cannot be used unless officers are identifiable. This means officers must not wear masks or facial coverings that hide their identity and must clearly identify themselves verbally and visibly. Exceptions are made for medical necessity or approved undercover operations. The act aims to combat the impersonation of law enforcement officers, which undermines public trust and safety.
