Noem rolls out body cameras for ICE patrols, expansion tied to funding

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that all federal agents in Minneapolis will immediately wear body cameras, with a nationwide rollout possible as funding becomes available. The move aligns with Democratic demands tied to ICE funding and follows Republican and Trump signals of support for cameras. Democrats seek reforms such as warrants before arrests, an end to roving patrols, and a universal use‑of‑force code, titles that keep ICE funding in limbo as the House prepares a vote amid a broader funding standoff.
