ICE to test body cameras for special agents in pilot program
CBSN
More than four dozen special agents within an investigative unit of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will be equipped with body cameras in the new year as part of a six month-long pilot program mandated by Congress, senior homeland security officials said Tuesday.
Agents stationed at Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) offices in New York, Newark, New Jersey and Houston will be outfitted for cameras — mounted to their vest, shirt or helmet — and required to turn them on during "pre-planned law enforcement operations," including execution of search warrants, pre-planned arrests and interrogation of suspects.
The footage will be subject to Freedom of Information Act requests and available to defense lawyers in criminal cases during the discovery process, a senior ICE official indicated.
