Federal immigration agents deployed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, will soon receive body cameras, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says.

“Effective immediately we are deploying body cameras to every officer in the field in Minneapolis,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem wrote on X on Monday.

Noem said once funding is available, the body camera programme will be expanded nationwide.
The US is currently on day three of a partial government shutdown as Democrats continue to demand immigration reforms, including body cameras, as part of any funding deal to reopen the government.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement is currently the highest funded US law enforcement agency, after Congress authorised $80bn (£59bn) for the agency last year.
Asked about Noem’s announcement, President Donald Trump said that body cameras “generally tend to be good for law enforcement because people can’t lie about what’s happening”.
“Generally speaking, I think it’s 80% good for law enforcement,” he said.
