Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said immigration officers in Minneapolis would begin wearing body cameras “immediately," after the shooting deaths of two U.S. citizens amid the Trump administration's deportation crackdown in the city.
Noem in a post on X said the decision came after speaking to the Trump administration's border czar Tom Homan, as well as other top immigration officials.
“Effective immediately we are deploying body cameras to every officer in the field in Minneapolis,” Noem said in a social media post. “As funding is available, the body camera program will be expanded nationwide. We will rapidly acquire and deploy body cameras to DHS law enforcement across the country.”
President Donald Trump told reporters he would leave the move to Noem, adding that the cameras could help Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
