I never understood why bodycams are not as standard for ICE as they are for other LEO’s.
Leftists loooove mass surveillance when it suits their needs. Turn the cameras on the Left, show the unvarnished truth...............well.............we can’t have that.
The MSM is our #1 enemy and should be treated as such.
Put the left in the spotlight. Then offer the stinky Antifags a bar of Zest.
Really make there heads explode, tell them the body cams will be live footage, connected to a live facial recognition system. Lol.
They hate the truth. They hate reality.
The Minnesota state senator who was the subject of an investigation wanted to delete this bodycam footage.

You just can’t please some people.
Libs can FO. No ice in Hell. I suggest they go there.
Whatever it is related to Trump, Dems. are against it.
The media will do anything for the Dem. Party. Even if it means being extremely stupid.
The issue is never the issue.
It's really hard to overstate the kind of crap that police officer have to deal with.
Videos of some of more problematic interactions with the criminal element are very informative to the general public.com
The administration was against body cameras.
But of course, blame it on something else.
Both Republicans and Democrats - don’t seem to want body cams.
It’s a political issue within the government, and is not caused by external factors, like ‘liberals.’
This is how D.C. puts the blame elsewhere, not where it belongs, with them - the political class.
Body cameras protect people from the potential abuses of law enforcement, i.e., the state, the government.
It’s not just the devices themselves, it’s the staff in the background that has to maintain the systems and software which the cameras rely on to be useful.
The staffing levels for the body camera system in ICE - have been severely reduced. That makes it inoperable, regardless of whether the money is there to fund it.

President Donald Trump’s administration opposed efforts to expand the use of body cameras by immigration officers and sharply cut oversight staffing as it surged officers into Minneapolis and other cities, leading to a series of violent clashes.
Cameras worn by officers have long been central to police reform efforts for this reason. The Trump administration, however, moved last year to slow-walk a pilot program to give ICE officers body cameras, urging Congress in June to cut the funding by 75% and bucking a nationwide trend of cameras for law enforcement.
Darius Reeves, who was the director of ICE’s Baltimore field office until August, said a body camera pilot program rollout had been slow in 2024 under President Biden, a Democrat, and “died on the vine” under Trump, a Republican.
A homeland security spending bill passed in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives last week rejected that proposal, instead providing $20 million for ICE and Border Patrol cameras.
Still, the bill - which now faces a challenging route to passage in the US Senate - did not require either agency to use the devices.
House says Yes, Senate says No - problem goes away.
