flag ICE may require citizenship verification during enforcement, raising civil rights concerns.

flag On January 15, 2026, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said ICE agents may require individuals, including U.S. citizens, to verify citizenship during targeted enforcement operations, particularly near suspects or at protests. flag The policy, tied to an executive order and the Alien Registration Act, has sparked legal concerns over Fourth and First Amendment violations, with experts warning it could enable unlawful detentions and deter civil liberties. flag The remarks followed a deadly ICE shooting in Minneapolis involving a legal observer, Renee Nicole Good, and protests over federal actions. flag Critics argue the requirement lacks clear standards and risks abuse, especially without reasonable suspicion.
