Body cameras can flip the ICE debate just as they did with police sentiment
The widespread use of body cameras neutered anti-police sentiment and the Black Lives Matter movement. It should be a top priority of the Trump administration to fit all Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers with body cameras quickly, so as to do the same to the "Abolish ICE" movement.
The ICE shooting in Houston was quickly followed by an ICE shooting in Maine. Few details are clear about either, with both being "he said, ICE said" situations. In a battle of credibility, it is more likely that ICE is telling the truth about these incidents (that the drivers who were shot were weaponizing their vehicles against officers and/or putting the public at risk) than the rabidly anti-ICE activists and Democratic politicians who quickly push these stories out with no details. ICE should get the benefit of the doubt, given that video evidence proved the activist narratives wrong about the shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
