Republican senator suggests ICE agents wear body cameras on patrols

AI Summary

medium article 3 min

Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin has suggested that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents wear body cameras during patrols as a potential compromise to fund the agency. This proposal is one of the conditions attached by Democrats to agreeing to continued funding for ICE. The demands also include an end to roving patrols, new rules requiring judicial warrants before entering people's homes, and a universal code of conduct governing the use of force by federal law officers. Johnson rejected the call for judicial warrants, citing concerns about backlogged cases and the need for administrative judges to adjudicate immigration law. The proposal is part of ongoing negotiations on Capitol Hill to fund ICE, which has faced criticism over its operations in Minneapolis following fatal shootings.
