Federal immigration officers in the Chicago area will be required to wear body cameras, a judge said Thursday after seeing tear gas and other aggressive steps used against protesters.
U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis said she was a “little startled” after seeing TV images of clashes between agents and the public during President Donald Trump’s administration’s immigration crackdown.
“I live in Chicago if folks haven’t noticed,” she said. “And I’m not blind, right?”
Every win matters. It’s so important to see sensible judges.
A “requirement to wear a body camera” doesn’t mean much if there are no penalties for “forgetting to turn it on” or “forgetting to charge the battery” or “whoops I guess it broke and I didn’t know”… which happens all the fucking time.
