While pretending that ICE agents are doing something wrong, liberals stridently demanded they wear bodycams to document their misdeeds. Then Kristi Noem said sure. So now, via Politico:
A push to put body cameras on all ICE agents has Democrats running headlong into a new problem: fear that the technology will provide another avenue for mass surveillance of protesters.
Naturally, ICE agents still manage to be the bad guys according to the liberal narrative.
This happened before, during the George Floyd riots. The liberal establishment screeched that local police were oppressing blacks. Officers were made to wear bodycams, which then proved to the astonishment of our supposed intellectual betters that the cops are actually the good guys.
As Daniel Greenfield pointed out earlier…
Body cameras have far more consistently proven that law enforcement acted correctly than otherwise. There’s a reason that Secretary Noem is happy to go along with the idea and why most police departments realized that body cams were a good thing once the impact became clear.
…and more recently,
If we didn’t have video footage of [Renee] Good ramming law enforcement and [Alex] Pretti assaulting law enforcement, all we’d have are the lies that the media tells.
That’s what they’re calling “mass surveillance”.
If LEOs are the good guys, who are the bad guys, other than the criminals and foreign invaders they risk their lives to arrest? That would be the liberal establishment, its media, and its weaponized mob.

I never understood why bodycams are not as standard for ICE as they are for other LEO’s.
Well the people they are arresting are being deported so who cares what they try to claim? Let them file a complaint in their own country. No. One. Here. Cares.
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.

” . . .On April 22nd, 2024, Becker County
Police Department in Minnesota received
a 911 call reporting an active break-in.
Little did they know they would soon
find out the suspect is an elected
senator for the state of Minnesota.
County 911.
Somebody had just broken into my house.
He just ran down into my basement.
Did you get a look at him at all?
No, it was completely dark. I tripped
over him. He was on the floor next to my bed
and he ran downstairs into my basement. . .” . .

Tim Walz told them that ICE officers aren’t LEO’s and they don’t have to submit. I heard him say it in a video. That is garbage. My late brother-in-law was an ICE agent in Texas, and they are Federal LEO’s for immigration enforcement and follow Federal orders. The big narrative with the liberal trash is that they don’t have to submit because ICE agents aren’t real LEO’s. If they interfere with the duties of the ICE agents, they can be arrested if that is their orders. The local police should handle the arrests but if they have been ordered not to help, the ICE agents will do it if they are ordered to do it.
My BIL eventually quit ICE and border patrol because it was during GW Bushes term and Bush refused to allow them to return fire when fired upon by the cartels on the border even in self-defense. That’s what he told us. I only have his word on it.
Trump isn’t Bush.
You just can’t please some people.
Wow! And it’s a Minnesota senator, too!
“Bush refused to allow them to return fire when fired upon by the cartels on the border even in self-defense.”
I believe that. The Bush dynasty has been way too cozy with the invaders.
Once I got a FReepmail from someone (don’t recall who) who said that GWB actually was highly connected with the Mexican cartels — was actually part of the system. Not sure why, but the way it was worded gave me the chills. And why send it to ME privately? (You never know what entities are monitoring these sites.) I replied to never post to me again.
That was in 2001. I know that because I recall where I was sitting at the time, and Hubby and I had only a one-year term with that business.
I can believe that from what he said now and then. I especially believe it since he was on the border patrol in Texas. He never came right out and made that claim but he hinted.
“ Really make there heads explode, tell them the body cams will be live footage,”
Live stream it. I would subscribe to that channel.
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.
Pretty much everyone involved in these riots have their phones out recording ICE. But ICE is not allowed to record them?
