During a press conference Tuesday, Mark Morgan of the CBP said reports and claims that CBP agents are unidentified or operating in secret are false.
WATCH:
.@CBPMarkMorgan shuts down antifa lie that DHS officers are "unidentified." Every officer is identified clearly on the front, back & sides. They no longer display a name because of doxing that endangers their families. Instead, they wear an ID patch. https://t.co/OEk9nfCOHj pic.twitter.com/gVu3gBJclU

Morgan also tweeted:
The USBP agent in this photo is identified by his USBP patch & unique agent identifier.
Yet, this headline (& others like it) say @CBP agents are unidentified or operating in secret. It’s FALSE. Agents wear patches to identify themselves, even more than those shown in this photo.
Morgan also tweeted:
Contrary to reports, @CBP personnel wear patches that identify them as:
CBP
Border Patrol
Police
Unique agent identifier

However,the level of identification does not appear to be sufficient for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Monday, Rep. AOC announced:
The United States of America should not have secret police.
Federal law enforcement officers should have their identifying information displayed while on duty.
This is basic.
@EleanorNorton and I have introduced legislation to make it law:
