Tom Horman, head of border affairs at the US government, said on the 19th that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Administration will require its staff to wear at least one recorder when “stopping and enforcing the law.” ICE personnel recently shot and killed foreigners during law enforcement operations, and no live video was provided. The transparency of their law enforcement attracted widespread questions, triggering demonstrations and protests. As a guest on a Fox TV program on the same day, Horman said that law enforcement officers wear recorders so that the public can see what actually happened during their law enforcement. “There are more cases where recorders prove that law enforcement officers are not guilty than those convicted.” In an interview with another CBS TV program, he said that financial funding for the purchase of law enforcement recorders had already been approved, but disbursements were blocked for a while during the federal government's partial “shutdown” earlier this year. Horman said, “We have now purchased recorders and are training relevant personnel to distribute recorders across the country.”
