Congress green lit emergency funds for those body cameras recently. How TF did they not write in that the footage has to be shared?
Probably intentional.
Also they're not really using the funds for body cameras.
I'm not american so I don't know, but isn't that part of FOIA?
Agencies can redact body cam footage in cases of FOIA too, usually used to protect sensitive information or victims by blurring the video or muting audio. Technically this censorship is extended to prevent "exposing law enforcement techniques" as well, I assume ice will try to argue that point broadly.
If ICE doesn't get defunded and disbanded by the next Dem in power. Burn it all down.
Read title and thought this is a good onion title... Fuck this timeline
Fine, not releasing footage should be treated as admission of ICEs guilty. They ought to lose every case they don’t release footage of
Yeah we can literally now presume where there is no body an footage it is because it makes ICE look bad. By their own admission.
Corollary: when ICE doesn't release body camera video, it's damning.
Most transparent...
Total bullshit and it obvious applies to FOIA, but hopefully it will at least now be stored for the record and subpoenas.

Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
