Officers for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will be equipped with much-delayed body cameras by the end of next month, it was reported on Friday.

    So if they don’t release it we can assume they were in the wrong. Now we need the media to start reporting like that’s the case. “ICE refused to release the video because it will make them look bad or show guilt, per their own statements”. Then the courts need to start ruling that way as admission of guilt when video and other evidence is withheld or destroyed.
