We need one that requires ICE officers to not masquerade as civilians.

Already in Trump's Reign of Terror we've seen criminals claim they're ICE while committing their crimes. And let's be honest here: eventually a Good Samaritan is going to decide an ICE officer is actually a kidnapper or rapist and "save the day" with his pistol. "Officer, I saw three people wearing civilian clothes shoving a woman into the back seat of an SUV so I shot them all" is going to happen - especially since ICE officers in civilian clothes aren't necessarily carrying ICE identification.
