ICE officers to wear body cameras during vehicle stops, border czar says
The mandate follows two deadly traffic stops and aims to record every vehicle stop after protests and scrutiny over missing footage.
- On Sunday, White House border czar Tom Homan announced that all ICE arrest teams must now wear body cameras during vehicle stops to document roadside operations.
- The mandate follows fatal shootings of two motorists in Texas and Maine earlier this month, where ICE agents involved lacked body cameras, leaving no video evidence of the encounters.
- Homan noted that $20 million approved in April was insufficient, but a $70 billion package passed in June provided necessary funding; remaining field offices are expected to receive cameras within 60 days.
- While DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin temporarily paused vehicle stops to review procedures, President Donald Trump overturned the suspension on Wednesday, calling them 'most important and effective Crime Fighting tools.'
- Defending the technology on Fox News, Homan claimed cameras 'exonerate more law enforcement than they convict,' positioning surveillance as a tool for both officer protection and public accountability.
