Also tonight, there's a growing push to ban immigration agents from covering their faces during operations.

U.S.

Senator Cory Booker is leading legislation alongside California Senator Alex Padilla that will require ICE officers to show their face when making public arrests and have clearly displayed personal ID on their body.

Now, ICE has said the masks and face coverings are being used for officers' protection amid ramped up crackdowns under the Trump administration and an increase of personal threats against the agents and their families.

But according to lawmakers, using those masks while acting in a federal capacity is illegal and it's stoking fear in communities.

Since mass deportations began, Homeland Security and ICE officers have been seen wearing unmarked tactical gear, face masks, and no visible badges or other indications that would help people in the public confirm they are in fact government officials.

But the Visible Act, as it's being called, would allow officers to wear gas masks if needed or other face coverings during covert and non-public operations.

ICE didn't immediately return a request for comment on the bill.
