The Department of Homeland Security says that going forward, every U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrest team will include at least one officer equipped with a body-worn camera. DHS made the change after two shootings by ICE agents that resulted in fatalities earlier this month, when the agents involved did not have cameras. The policy is intended to expand the use of body camera technology across ICE arrest operations.
Separately, CBS News reports that President Donald Trump overturns an order that had aimed to limit some ICE traffic stops. The article describes the shift as part of broader ICE policy changes being implemented in response to current public and political scrutiny.
Taken together, the updates reflect both a technological and operational adjustment: DHS requires body cameras for arrest teams, while the White House action restores aspects of ICE’s authority to conduct certain traffic enforcement activities. The sources describe the measures as direct responses to recent events and existing policy directives.
