U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in five cities will start wearing body cameras in an effort to increase transparency with the public, the agency announced Wednesday.
HSI officers are responsible for national security investigations and investigations of other transnational crimes like human trafficking, drug smuggling and financial crimes. ERO officers manage immigration enforcement, from identification to arrest and removal of noncitizens, ICE states. That means all aspects of officer-migrant enforcement interactions will be recorded from now on in those five cities.
The new policy is a result of President Joe Biden's Executive Order on Public Trust-Public Safety. Signed in 2022 on the second anniversary of George Floyd's death, the order required federal law enforcement agencies to review their policies on use of force and take proactive measures to prevent demographic-based profiling, and mandated that officers in public wear body cameras.
