US EditionFederal Agents to Use Body Cameras in Minneapolis, Noem Says
Following two fatal shootings by federal agents, DHS Secretary Noem mandates body cameras for Minneapolis agents with plans for nationwide rollout as funding allows.
- 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agents to wear cameras last year, and President Joe Biden ordered body cameras in 2022, while President Donald Trump rescinded that directive and recently voiced support.
