TRUST Act

This bill sets hiring and screening standards for new federal immigration enforcement officers, including age and education minimums, background checks, social media reviews, and psychological assessments. It requires Department of Homeland Security officers to wear uniforms and display their name, agency, and face during immigration enforcement, with exceptions for undercover work, tactical assignments, weather, and medical reasons. It requires immigration officers who interact with the public to wear and activate body cameras during enforcement actions, sets rules for keeping and publicly releasing the footage, and sets penalties for failing to record or tampering with footage. It also makes it a federal crime to wear or copy a DHS badge or uniform to pose as an immigration officer and requires specialized training on topics such as identity checks, de-escalation, and civil rights.
