Your questions answered: Are federal officers required to wear body cameras and identify badge numbers?
Published 7 months ago
Description
Officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement weren’t wearing body cameras during a fatal encounter last week. The Sun-Times reports two ICE officers weren’t wearing the device when one of them shot and killed Silverio Villegas Gonzalez during a traffic stop in Franklin Park on Friday. The Department of Homeland Security says an ICE agent shot Villegas-Gonzalez after being dragged beneath his car. Activists are pointing to social media videos and raising questions about the feds’ account of the incident.
