A Half Hearted Fix for ICE's Deadly Fails The Trump administration has ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to wear body cameras during most traffic stops, following two fatal shootings in as many weeks that have reignited calls for greater transparency and reform.
The requirement, announced by White House border czar Tom Homan, is a belated attempt to address the systemic failures of accountability within the agency.
The use of body cameras can help exonerate law enforcement officers from false accusations, but it cannot guarantee that agents will not use lethal force unnecessarily.
