(b) The numerical and agency identifiers required by subsection (a) shall be clearly and legibly displayed by civilian law enforcement personnel of the Department of Homeland Security while carrying out such immigration enforcement activities that involve engaging with members of the public and that may require a custodial arrest, and such personnel shall clearly verbalize, upon request, their respective agency and badge number to any person with whom they are engaging in the official performance of their duties. (c) Subsections (a) and (b) shall not apply to civilian law enforcement personnel of the Department of Homeland Security in an ongoing undercover operation if such application would compromise the integrity of such operation.
