WASHINGTON: Federal officers in Minneapolis will be equipped with body cameras following the fatal shootings of two protesters by US immigration agents, the Department of Homeland Security said on Monday (Feb 2).
The move from DHS Secretary Krisi Noem comes as Democrats call for this equipment change and other reforms to immigration enforcement, holding up federal funds to press their demands.
The US government is in a partial shutdown following a breakdown in spending negotiations amid Democratic anger over the killing of the two protesters, both citizens, in the Midwestern city.
