ICE to Equip Officers with Body Cameras, Limits Public Video Release

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is set to equip its officers with body cameras by the end of September. However, the agency's policy allows for selective release of footage, stating that videos will only be made public if it is in the agency's 'best interests.' This policy grants ICE significant discretion over what footage is released, potentially keeping certain high-profile incidents from public view. The move comes after recent fatal shootings by ICE officers have increased calls for accountability. The agency has spent $30.9 million on body camera equipment, with plans to distribute cameras to all field officers.
