Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Monday that body cameras would be given to federal immigration agents across the country, starting in Minneapolis, where two U.S. citizens were shot and killed by agents in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

“As funding is available, the body camera program will be expanded nationwide,” she wrote on social media. “We will rapidly acquire and deploy body cameras to DHS law enforcement across the country.”

Noem did not specifically say agents would be required to wear the cameras.

    Does anyone think high school dropout fascists are going to turn their bodycameras on?

    Does anyone think their fascist bosses are going to punish them when they don’t?

    Our fascist government is trying to hide and protect multiple people who executed American citizens in our streets.

    We already have video of Americans being executed and their bosses chose to protect them despite the video evidence.

    If you find yourself believing anything a fascist says, it’s time to seek therapy.

      Even if they have them on they’ll refuse to release the footage if it shows anything bad. Even podunk little police departments do this. Bodycams mean absolutely nothing to the public’s safety. This is just more theater brought on by democrats to make it appear as if they’re taking action while also passing Republican legislation left and right.
