DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced that body cameras would go to ICE agents in Minneapolis and to operatives nationwide when funding is available. Noem said that the move was in the interest of transparency, but there was no mention of having ICE agents remove their masks when conducting operations.

"...when funding is available."

On 29 Jan 2026, the New York Times wrote:

"The sweeping domestic policy law that Republicans muscled through Congress last year made ICE the highest-funded federal law enforcement.

  • Republicans allocated $190 billion over four years, with $75 billion specifically for ICE, making it the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency.
  • Democrats warned that the funding would increase ICE's capabilities without sufficient oversight."

    ICE agents are equipped with military-grade weaponry (e.g. assault rifles, firearm silencers. laser finders, night-vision goggles, explosives, and hi-tech Israeli hacking devices, while DHS is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to buy warehouses to store migrants like so much Amazon merchandise, yet Kristi Noem bleated that body cams will be deployed when "funding becomes available."

    There is no "fixing" or "reforming" ICE and DHS other than completely dismantling them. INS can be reconstituted to pre-9/11 conditions and DHS functions can be returned to the FBI, US Postal Inspectors, USCG, the US Treasury and other agencies. Look how quickly the diabolical Trumpf junta destroyed USAID.
