A viral social-media post claims Democrats are “backtracking,” arguing that ICE use of body cameras would infringe on protestors’ privacy. In fact, Democratic leaders have pressed for body cameras — alongside bans on masks, judicial-warrant requirements and identification rules — as conditions for DHS funding after two fatal incidents in Minneapolis criticized as excessive force. Homeland Security has begun issuing body cameras in Minneapolis with plans to expand, while civil-rights and tech-justice groups warn body-worn cameras could expand ICE surveillance and be misused. The debate reflects partisan clashes over accountability, transparency, and whether cameras will protect communities or increase harm. (washingtonpost.com)
