Paid Subscriber SIGNAL ALERT: URGENT ICE Policy/Operations Update
Wednesday, February 4th, 2026 2:15 pm CST
What happened
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that all federal immigration officers in Minneapolis (including ICE agents) will begin wearing body‑worn cameras effective immediately.
The move follows two recent fatal shootings involving federal agents in the city and comes amid intense public criticism and ongoing civil rights investigations. The body‑camera program is set to expand nationwide as funding allows.
What it means
• Operational transparency mandate: This is the most significant federal policy shift on recording enforcement encounters since the start of the year…forced by high‑profile fatal shootings and public backlash.
