From The Hill: Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said Sunday he is not opposed to requiring federal immigration officers wear body cameras, after Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) proposed such a measure last week.
“I don’t have a problem with that, personally,” Johnson, the chair of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, told host Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Under federal law, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) personnel are not required to wear body cameras when conducting operations. A majority of states require local police officers to use body cameras.
On Wednesday, Schumer proposed a series of reforms to ICE and CBP — including body camera requirements, an end to roving patrols, elevated warrant requirements and a measure to ban officers from wearing masks. Democrats on Capitol Hill have pushed for reforming the agencies in the wake of the fatal shootings of two Minnesotans by federal immigration officers last month.
However, although he said he doesn’t have a problem with ICE agents wearing body cameras, Johnson has made it clear that sanctuary cities and states should be “outlawed.”
