Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ordered the immediate issuance of body‑worn cameras to every DHS officer in the field in Minneapolis — including ICE and Border Patrol — saying the department will expand the program nationwide as funding allows, a move framed as fallout from the deadly federal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The announcement, which follows revelations that some agents had body‑cam footage of the Pretti shooting while officers at Good’s death did not (the shooter filmed with his phone), was publicly endorsed by President Trump and has intensified Senate Democrats’ push to codify a body‑camera mandate amid ongoing DHS funding negotiations after Trump rescinded a 2022 Biden executive order on federal agents’ cameras.
