ICE rejects watchdog advice on automatic body camera activation
ICE has declined a Government Accountability Office recommendation to use body cameras that turn on automatically when a weapon is drawn.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has rejected a recommendation from the Government Accountability Office to adopt body cameras that activate automatically. Under the recommendation, the cameras would start recording when an agent draws a weapon, The Hill reports.
The GAO report came out Wednesday, according to The Hill. It reviewed how ICE has deployed body cameras after the agency received record levels of funding. Al Jazeera describes the report as recommending improvements to ICE's body camera policy.
The reports available do not say why ICE rejected the recommendation. They also do not say what other findings the GAO made.
