Judge orders federal immigration agents to use body cameras in Chicago
CHICAGO, Oct 17 (Reuters) – A U.S. judge in Chicago on Friday ordered federal law enforcement officers involved in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the city to wear body cameras, citing concerns they were not complying with a previous court order governing their interactions with protesters.
U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis said federal officers trained and equipped with body-worn cameras must turn them on while conducting immigration enforcement activity, including during interactions with the public.
The new measure follows her earlier temporary restraining order requiring federal immigration officers to give warnings before using anti-riot weapons like tear gas and to wear visible identification.
Ellis also said she wants representatives from federal immigration agencies to appear at a hearing on Monday to answer her questions about how her order – in effect until November 6 – is being implemented.
