DHS proposed gutting ICE’s body-cam program this FY.
A Trump admin official told us, hours before Pretti was killed, that they did not want mandatory body cams for ICE.
That mandate didn’t make it into the House budget for DHS that just passed.

Significant. Some thought the budget was a done deal after House passage.
But many Dem-supported reforms were left out. And money for DHS body-worn cameras doesn’t make them mandatory — Trump admin opposed that. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
