All immigration officers in Minneapolis will start wearing body cameras, Noem says
All federal immigration agents in Minneapolis are now required to wear body cameras. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced this decision in response to scrutiny over recent fatal shootings involving federal agents. The policy may eventually expand nationwide as funding allows.
President Trump supported the move, stating that body cameras "generally tend to be good for law enforcement because people can't lie about what's happening."
The Department of Homeland Security has faced bipartisan criticism, particularly after two recent shootings. Senate Democrats are advocating for a law mandating body cameras for all immigration agents. A proposed bill includes funding for body cameras, but some Democrats insist on deeper reforms before agreeing to any funding.
