## Resource

Body cameras for federal immigration officers are now moving forward after two deadly shootings reignited the debate. White House border czar Tom Homan insists they’re vital to show the public what officers see in high-stakes moments — clearer than shaky cellphone videos. ICE has already begun equipping arrest teams, with half its field offices already outfitted and the rest set to get cameras within 60 days. Funding delays from last year’s government shutdown stalled progress, but new money — including a $20 million allocation — is now enabling nationwide deployment. Homan blames Congress for the delay, noting the initial funding was insufficient. The recent shootings in Texas and Maine have intensified scrutiny, prompting ICE to temporarily halt vehicle stops — a move later reversed. Homan defended agents’ safety gear, suggesting the real issue may lie in how vehicles were used — not whether cameras were present.
