DHS resists oversight measure for ICE agents.
In the wake of a spate of ICE shootings, the Government Accountability Office recommended that ICE agents’ body-worn cameras automatically activate whenever an officer draws a weapon — but DHS disagrees.
Though DHS agreed with other recommendations in the GAO report, the department’s financial management director said auto-activated body cameras would pose “significant operational risks, including advertent or false activations during routine movement,” and could lead to the “unauthorized recording of sensitive interactions with informants or victims.”
