Congress Proposes Mandatory Body Cameras and De-escalation Training for Immigration Officers
ICE and CBP officers and agents would be directly affected by new requirements to wear body cameras at all times during operations, display identification and insignia, complete de-escalation training, and notify local law enforcement before operations. While these measures increase oversight and paperwork, they also provide officers with video evidence that could protect them from false accusations. Reports on assaults against officers would also increase visibility of dangers they face.
Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Homeland Security, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
