ICE Body Cameras: Footage Release Tied to Agency's 'Best Interests'

ICE plans to roll out body cameras for agents by month’s end, but a policy lets the ICE director block or delay public release of video after shootings or serious incidents unless it’s deemed in the agency’s best interests, prompting concerns about selective transparency despite a committee review process; supporters say the cameras boost accountability while critics warn footage could be hidden to protect the agency’s image amid deadly encounters.
