Homeland Security mandates body cameras for all federal officers in Minneapolis after two U.S. citizens were fatally shot during immigration operations, reversing a prior policy.

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced on February 2, 2026, that all federal officers in Minneapolis, including ICE and Border Patrol agents, will immediately wear body cameras following the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens during immigration enforcement operations. The move, aimed at increasing transparency and accountability, will expand nationwide as funding becomes available. The decision follows conflicting accounts of the incidents, public scrutiny, and a federal civil rights investigation into one death. It reverses a prior Trump-era rescission of a 2022 Biden executive order requiring body cameras.
