Washington, Feb 3 (EFE) - US Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced on Monday that immigration agents deployed in Minneapolis will start wearing body cameras following the deaths of two citizens at the hands of these officers in the aforementioned city, and that the order will be extended nationwide as budget becomes available. "Effective immediately, we will deploy body cameras for all agents on duty in Minneapolis," Noem wrote on X, stating that she had informed the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Todd Lyons; the commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, Rodney Scott; and the Trump administration's border czar, Tom Homan. Last week, Trump decided to replace the head of immigration raids in Minneapolis (the high-ranking Border Patrol official, Greg Bovino) with Homan, with the apparent aim of redrawing his strategy in the city after the deaths of two of its citizens at the hands of immigration agents. "As funding becomes available, the body camera program will be expanded nationwide."
