AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require federal immigration enforcement officers, including Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement staff and others deputized to enforce immigration law, to wear and operate body cameras during public enforcement actions such as patrols, stops, arrests, searches, raids, and warrant service. Footage would be kept for six months and then deleted, unless it shows use of force, an arrest, or an encounter that led to a complaint. Officers, supervisors, people recorded, and certain family members could request that footage be kept for at least three years. Officers who do not comply would face administrative discipline, and the Department of Homeland Security would have to publish an annual report on compliance and set up an independent advisory panel on body camera policies.
