ICE Resumes Nationwide Traffic Stops With 1 Body Camera Required

Summary
ICE on Thursday cleared officers nationwide to restart traffic stops, but only teams with at least one officer wearing a body camera can carry them out.
More than half of ICE field offices already have body cameras, while the rest are expected to receive them within 60 days, leaving officers without cameras barred from making traffic stops.
DHS said the rule is meant to ensure every arrest team has recorded coverage as assaults on ICE officers have risen more than 1,300% and vehicle attacks 3,300%.
The guidance is the latest operational shift as ICE expands body-camera use while reviving a key immigration enforcement tactic under President Donald Trump's second administration.
