ICE Will Equip All Officers with Body Cameras by August 2026

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced plans to equip all field officers with body cameras by the end of August 2026. This initiative aims to provide a visual record of immigration enforcement operations. ICE Acting Director David J.
