US EditionFederal Agents to Use Body Cameras in Minneapolis, Noem Says
Kristi Noem orders immediate body camera deployment to DHS officers in Minneapolis after two fatal shootings; nationwide rollout planned as funding permits amid calls for immigration enforcement reform.
- On Monday, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced all federal agents in Minneapolis will be issued body cameras, stating `Effective immediately we are deploying body cameras to every officer in the field in Minneapolis`.
- Amid intense scrutiny over two recent deaths in Minneapolis, the Jan. 24 killing of Alex Pretti and Jan. 7 of Renee Good prompted Noem to say all federal agents will wear body cameras.
- Noem said the program will expand nationwide as funding becomes available, noting a DHS bill included $20,000,000 and some 3,000 agents are deployed to Minneapolis.
- Friday, the Department of Justice confirmed it had opened a civil-rights probe, while oversight committees demand DHS officials testify, as 6 out of 12 annual bills remain unsigned.
- With shifting partisan comments — including recent Republican endorsements — a federal judge ordered agents to wear cameras last year, and President Joe Biden ordered body cameras in 2022, while President Donald Trump rescinded that directive and recently voiced support.
