What Ice Leadership Must Do Without Delay

1. Mandatory, always‑on body‑camera use Ensuring cameras are activated during all enforcement actions would prevent disputes over what occurred and protect both residents and officers.
2. Independent oversight and misconduct review A civilian‑led board could review use‑of‑force incidents, false statements, and complaints, preventing situations like Bovino’s contradictory testimony.
3. Respectful coordination with local police ICE agents should be required to follow protocols that reinforce—not undermine—the work of local officers who already have community relationships.
4. Transparent reporting of operations Regular public briefings, data releases, and community meetings would reduce fear and confusion about enforcement actions.
5. Equal enforcement standards applied to all individuals' Immigration enforcement should focus on conduct—fraud, overstays, criminal activity—without bias or selective targeting, reinforcing fairness and trust.
