Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has introduced a new dress code for deportation officers, prohibiting jeans and T-shirts in public spaces. The guidelines, issued on July 17 by deportations chief Marcos Charles, aim to present a more professional appearance during street operations. However, some employees and former officials have expressed concerns that the changes may compromise officer safety by making them more identifiable. A former senior Trump administration official noted that the increased visibility could put officers at greater risk, especially given the rise in threats against ICE personnel. The memo specifies that officers should wear khaki or coyote brown tactical pants along with an ICE polo shirt, and outlines restrictions on casual clothing. Some officials have questioned the focus on appearance over other pressing issues within the agency. Supporters of the new guidelines argue that they will help the public recognize federal officers, enhancing accountability.
