美国国土安全部周二表示，今后所有美国移民海关执法局的逮捕小队都将配备至少一名佩戴随身摄像头的执法人员。此前两名未佩戴摄像头的特工开枪造成致命伤亡事件引发了关注。
国土安全部在一份声明中称：“确保全国范围内所有移民海关执法局执法人员都配备随身摄像头，是国土安全部的首要任务”，并指出针对移民执法人员的袭击事件有所增加。“这一点尤为必要，因为媒体和庇护城市政客一直在持续散布针对我们执法人员的诽谤言论。”
此次政策调整之前，上周一名墨西哥男子在休斯顿被移民海关执法局特工开枪击毙，六天后，一名特工在缅因州比迪福德开枪打死一名哥伦比亚男子。两起事件中，涉案的移民执法人员均未佩戴随身摄像头。
休斯顿枪击事件发生后不久，国土安全部曾表示，移民海关执法局已有超过一半的外勤办公室配备了随身摄像头，剩余办公室将在60天内完成配备。
该机构将此前配备工作不完整归咎于今年早些时候部分政府停摆期间，国土安全部资金中断长达数月。一名国土安全部发言人表示，休斯顿涉案警员“因民主党接连制造停摆而未被配发随身摄像头”。
停摆之前，特朗普政府最初曾提议削减移民海关执法局随身摄像头项目的资金和人员编制。作为4月份结束部分政府停摆法案的一部分，国会最终批准为国土安全部的随身摄像头项目额外拨款2000万美元。
今年2月，在明尼阿波利斯发生两起移民特工开枪致人死亡的事件后，时任国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆表示，只要资金到位，该机构将“快速为全国范围内国土安全部执法人员采购并配备随身摄像头”。
民主党议员批评国土安全部在配备随身摄像头方面进展缓慢。代表休斯顿地区的民主党众议员西尔维亚·加西亚上周指出，无论是4月份的拨款法案，还是去年包含数十亿美元移民机构资金的“宏伟法案”，国土安全部都有足够资金加快摄像头配备速度。
加西亚称，移民海关执法局代理局长戴维·文图拉在最近一次电话中向她保证，所有外勤特工都将在7月底前获得随身摄像头。
“相信我，我会监督他落实此事，”加西亚说道。
缅因州和德克萨斯州的枪击事件重新引发了人们对移民海关执法局执法方式的审查。国土安全部称，两起事件中被枪击的男子均为非法入境美国，但同时承认他们并非此次移民执法行动的目标对象。两起枪击事件均发生在警方试图拦停车辆的过程中。在休斯顿枪击事件中，国土安全部指控该男子驾车冲撞拒捕，但其家属对此予以否认。
多名消息人士周二向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻网透露，移民海关执法局特工已接到指令，暂停全国范围内执法行动中的大部分车辆拦停任务，仅在涉及严重刑事目标的案件中除外。这是特工接受更多培训期间的临时暂停措施。
Every ICE arrest team will now have an agent with a body camera, DHS says, after 2 fatal shootings draw scrutiny

Every U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrest team will have at least one law enforcement officer equipped with a body-worn camera going forward, the Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday, after two fatal shootings by agents who didn’t have cameras.
“Ensuring all of our ICE law enforcement officers have body cameras nationwide is a top priority for DHS,” the department said in a statement, pointing to an increase in assaults against immigration agents. “This is especially needed because the media and sanctuary politicians consistently spread smears about our law enforcement.”
The move comes after a Mexican man was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Houston last week, and six days later, an agent shot and killed a Colombian man in Biddeford, Maine. In both cases, the immigration personnel involved in the shootings were not wearing body cameras.
Shortly after the Houston shooting, DHS said body cameras had been deployed to more than half of ICE’s field offices, and the remaining offices were set to receive them within 60 days.
The agency blamed the incomplete rollout on a monthslong lapse in DHS funding during the partial government shutdown earlier this year. A DHS spokesperson said the officers in Houston “had not been issued body-worn cameras due to back-to-back Democrat shutdowns.”
Prior to the shutdown, the Trump administration had initially proposed cutting funding and staffing for ICE’s body-worn camera program. Congress ultimately approved $20 million in extra funding for DHS body cameras as part of a bill to end the partial government shutdown in April.
In February, after a pair of fatal shootings by immigration agents in Minneapolis, then-Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said the agency would “rapidly acquire and deploy body cameras to DHS law enforcement across the country” as funding became available.
Democratic lawmakers have criticized DHS’s slow rollout of body cameras. Democratic Rep. Sylvia Garcia, who represents the Houston area, argued last week that DHS has plenty of money to deploy cameras at a more rapid clip, both in the April funding bill and in last year’s “big, beautiful bill,” which included billions of dollars for immigration agencies.
Garcia said Acting ICE Director David Venturella assured her in a recent phone call that all agents in the field will have access to body cameras by the end of July.
“Trust me, I will hold him to it,” Garcia said.
The shootings in Maine and Texas have drawn renewed scrutiny to ICE’s practices. In both cases, DHS has said the men who were shot were in the U.S. illegally but have acknowledged they were not the intended targets of the immigration operations. Both men were also shot during attempted vehicle stops. In the Houston shooting, DHS has accused the man of weaponizing his vehicle, which family members have disputed.
ICE agents have been instructed to immediately suspend most vehicle stops during enforcement operations nationwide, except in cases involving serious criminal targets, multiple sources told CBS News Tuesday. It is a temporary pause while officers receive more training.
