## Resource

ICE is rushing to deploy body cameras nationwide after deadly shootings in Maine and Texas, with Trump-era immigration chief Tom Homan pushing for immediate rollout despite funding and logistical hurdles. Cameras are already purchased and training underway, with officials aiming for July deployment — though critics like Sen. Angus King dispute the funding excuse and demand accountability. The push follows a fatal shooting in Biddeford where the officer involved wasn’t wearing a camera, and Homan now insists every vehicle stop will have at least one officer with an active camera. He also deflected questions about the officer’s background, calling for only the best to hold badges and guns. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
