"Some masked ICE agents are now wearing body-worn cameras as they detain immigrants inside Manhattan's 26 Federal Plaza. Over the last week several federal agents have been spotted clipping cameras to their chests on the 12th and 14th floors of the city's now infamous facility. This marks the first time the feds have donned video equipment in their some eight-month stranglehold of the courthouse."
"Some masked agents still are not donning the cameras.Photo by Dean Moses amNewYork observed the agents with the new video equipment, and while some are wearing the tech, others are not. amNewYork quizzed one of the agents directly about why he was not wearing a body camera while his colleagues were. They have it because they had a problem before, the unnamed agent said, referring to the fatal shootings in Minneapolis."
Masked ICE agents at Manhattan's 26 Federal Plaza have begun wearing body-worn cameras while detaining immigrants, with devices spotted on the 12th and 14th floors. The deployment represents the first use of video equipment during roughly eight months of federal control of the courthouse. The rollout follows fatal shootings in Minneapolis that prompted security officials to equip agents there and later across the country. Observers noted that some masked agents still do not wear cameras; one unnamed agent said colleagues received cameras because of prior problems related to the Minneapolis killings. Lawmakers criticized masked agent conduct.
