ICE will release bodycam video only if in its 'best interests': policy

Immigration and Customs Enforcement is equipping officers with body cameras within the next two months following incidents of death and serious injury. However, agency policy grants the ICE director broad control over transparency, stating that footage will only be released to the public if it is deemed in the best interests of the agency. This restrictive approach has led experts to question the level of accountability and transparency regarding critical incidents involving federal immigration personnel.
