Todd Lyons, acting director of #ICE, said that about 3,000 officers, out of roughly 13,000 in the field were equipped with #BodyCameras. Last week, #KristiNoem, #DHS secretary, said that all #immigration officers in #Minneapolis would be given body cameras & that the program would be expanded nationwide “as funding is available.”

"WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats are threatening to block funding for the Homeland Security Department when it expires in two weeks unless there are “dramatic changes” and “real accountability” for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other law enforcement agencies who are carrying out President Donald Trump’s campaign of federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota and across the country."

What Democrats want in fight over ICE funding

A bipartisan agreement on new restrictions for federal immigration operations in the next two weeks will be exceedingly difficult despite rare negotiations between Democrats and President Donald Trump. Congress is discussing potential new rules for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and other officers who are conducting immigration arrests after the deaths of two Minneapolis protesters in January. The negotiations come during some bipartisan sentiment that Congress should step in to de-escalate tensions that have rocked Minnesota and other states. But it’s unclear if the president or enough congressional Republicans will agree to any of the Democrats’ larger demands.

Body cameras *are not* instruments for holding ICE agents accountable. This has been proven over the course of at least a decade with the use of body cameras on municipal police.
1. They control the footage.
2. They use the threat of what the footage may show to get civilians to retract complaints.
3. They do not decrease use of force incidents over time.

'President Donald Trump says use of body cameras in Minnesota was up to DHS Sec. Noem. “If she wants to do the camera thing, that’s ok with me,” he said. “They generally tend to be good for law enforcement because people can’t lie about what’s happening.”

"Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents could wear body cameras on immigration patrols, a Republican senator has suggested, in a concession that could pave the way to an agreement on Capitol Hill to fund the much criticized agency."
