Every Homeland Security officer in Minneapolis is now being issued a body-worn camera, Noem says

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that all Homeland Security officers in Minneapolis, including ICE agents, will be immediately equipped with body-worn cameras. The decision follows the shooting deaths of two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis by federal officers, which sparked public outrage and increased scrutiny of immigration enforcement activities. Noem stated the body camera program will expand nationwide as funding allows. This action comes after calls for greater accountability and transparency in immigration enforcement, and after former President Trump endorsed the idea of body cameras for immigration officers. President Biden had previously mandated body cameras for federal law enforcement in 2022, a directive later rescinded by Trump.
