Rally held to support "No Masks for ICE Act" introduced by New York lawmaker
Bill by N.Y. lawmaker would require ICE agents be unmasked during enforcement actions Bill by N.Y. lawmaker would require ICE agents be unmasked during enforcement actions Bill by N.Y. lawmaker would require ICE agents be unmasked during enforcement actions A New York lawmaker is calling for transparency from United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, starting with having its agents remove their masks. In a statement from ICE, a spokesperson says the masks are optional but that "ICE law enforcement and their families are being targeted and are facing a 500% increase in assaults ... due to the demonization of ICE by hostile groups and irresponsible elected officials." "Politicians and activists must turn the temperature down and tone down their rhetoric," the spokesperson added. Bill would require ICE agents be unmasked during enforcement actions Immigration advocates and political leaders used 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan, which houses the city's ICE field office, as a backdrop Saturday. Immigrants, and even Comptroller Brad Lander, have been detained there by ICE agents with masks on. "No excuses, no cover-ups. When law enforcement hides who they are, there is no accountability," Rep. Nydia Velazquez said. That's the message behind her "No Masks for ICE Act" introduced earlier this month, requiring that ICE agents be unmasked during enforcement actions unless it's for a serious health issue, which has to be explained in writing. "And require them to wear clothing that clearly shows they work for ICE," she said. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JUNE 20: Federal agents patrol the halls of immigration court at the Jacob K. Javitz Federal Building on June 20, 2025 in New York masks creates risk of copycat criminals, advocates say Supporters of the bill also allude to copycat incidents, where masked individuals have committed crimes allegedly pretending to be ICE agents. "If they're just wearing masks, you may think you're being kidnapped, and if you're armed, you may shoot them. So this bill will promote the safety of federal agents," Rep. Jerry Nadler said. Ricardo Aca, with immigrant advocacy group Make The Road, says banning the face coverings could relieve tensions he's seeing among the immigrant populations he advocates for. "A lot of folks don't know if they're being kidnapped or they're being detained because ICE is not even telling them or giving them the dignity and respect that they deserve," he said. Supporters say democracy cannot exist in darkness, or behind a mask.

Lawsuit and protest intensify over 'Alligator Alcatraz' in Everglades
A legal and environmental firestorm is growing around Florida's controversial migrant detention center — dubbed 'Alligator Alcatraz' — under construction at the remote Dade‑Collier airstrip in the Everglades. On June 27, two conservation groups, Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity, filed a federal lawsuit seeking to halt construction. They argue the state bypassed required environmental reviews under both the National Environmental Policy Act and the Endangered Species Act, putting wetlands and fragile ecosystems at risk. The suit specifically cites threats to wetlands, endangered species, and culturally important tribal lands. Environmentalists rallied on June 28, with dozens gathering near the site in a protest organized by tribal elder Betty Osceola. Many held signs emphasizing the 'sacred' nature of the land and decried rushed decisions that ignored public input. According to AP News, the center is designed to house up to 5,000 migrants in temporary structures and will rely on nearby swampland, as well as local wildlife like alligators and pythons, as natural barriers. It is expected to become operational by early July and cost around $450 million per year, funded via FEMA's shelter and services program. Florida officials, including Governor Ron DeSantis and AG James Uthmeier, defend the project as an efficient processing site, while critics, including Miami‑Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, demand environmental impact assessments. With lawsuits filed and protests ongoing, the debate captures the clash between accelerated immigration enforcement and preservation of sensitive tribal and ecological lands within a UNESCO‑linked wetland.
