HCR 19 Texas House · 89th Legislature, 2nd Called Session (2025)

Urging Congress to pass legislation requiring federal agents who are conducting arrests to wear proper uniforms and present identification and prohibiting agents from wearing facial coverings during public-facing enforcement actions.

This Texas concurrent resolution (HCR 19) urges Congress to pass legislation requiring federal agents conducting public arrests to wear visible uniforms, display identification, and avoid facial coverings. It cites concerns about public safety, accountability gaps, and incidents like masked agents at Dodger Stadium as reasons for transparency. The resolution references similar federal bills (e.g., the VISIBLE Act) but does not create new law itself. It directly addresses federal immigration and enforcement agencies' practices, not state-level actions.
