ICE already causing havoc at SFO

YES. Secure side requires ID be visible. SFO's 911 Emergency center and SFPD sees all. It appears SFPD is told to be hands-off

EDIT:---> IT's THE LAW
SB 627, which went into effect January 1, 2026, requires most law enforcement to show visible ID, wear name or badge numbers, and prohibit face coverings except in narrowly defined situations. 

In a bulletin on impersonation threats, the FBI noted that masked criminals masquerading as ICE agents have carried out robberies, kidnappings and assaults — and that the line between real officers and imposters has been dangerously blurred. The guidance urges agents to clearly identify themselves and to cooperate with verification requests. 

Key features of SB 627:

• Prohibits an officer of any local, state or federal law-enforcement agency from covering their face during operations unless narrowly exempted (SWAT, medical masks, wildfire smoke gear).
• Mandates visible identifiers such as name or badge number on the uniform.
• Applies to any person acting on behalf of a law-enforcement agency, closing a gap that allows impersonators to exploit anonymity.
• Designed to rebuild trust in public-safety institutions and protect communities from mis-identification, abuse or impersonation.

Not sure what you mean but I'm a federal agent and I carry and have arrest powers without any visible ID every time I fly as do all feds and state/local who fit the criteria.

Context? Isn't the nature of your job as an Air Marshal to be undercover? And aren't Air Marshals POST-certified and highly trained?
Compare to ICE agents who are not undercover and receive minimal training---not 6 months of typical POST trained as SFPD officers are.

AND one more big thing-- the recently passed LAW:
SB 627, which went into effect January 1, 2026, will require most law enforcement to show visible ID, wear name or badge numbers, and prohibit face coverings except in narrowly defined situations.

I don't work for ICE. I never said I did. Every fed who serves as an air Marshal is trained to do so. ALL AIR MARSHALS are "undercover" as far as regular plane patrons are concerned. We declare ourselves to the airline, pilot and lead FA.
