Trump Administration Rejects Automatic Activation of Immigration Officers' Body Cameras
The Trump administration has declined a Government Accountability Office (GAO) recommendation for US immigration officers to use body cameras that automatically activate when weapons are drawn or sirens are used. The GAO report, covering February to September 2025, urged improved management and controls for body-worn cameras by ICE and CBP to enhance transparency and accountability. The Department of Homeland Security cited privacy and operational concerns, including risks of inadvertent recordings, as reasons for rejecting automatic activation technology.
