ICE says it expects to equip every field officer with body cameras by the end of August
The agency defended its body-worn camera policy amid questions about provisions allowing ICE leadership to withhold or indefinitely delay footage after serious injuries or deaths in custody.
The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency plans to equip all field officers with body cameras by the end of August. According to PBS NewsHour, the agency has defended its body-worn camera policy, which includes provisions allowing ICE leadership to withhold or delay footage in certain circumstances.
The policy has raised questions, particularly regarding serious injuries or deaths in custody. However, details on the exact implementation and timeline of the body camera rollout are limited.
No further information is available on the ICE body camera policy from the provided reports. The Hindu report appears to be unrelated to the topic, discussing the removal of encroachments by the Cyberabad Municipal Corporation in India.
