Federal immigration agents deployed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, will soon receive body cameras, according to an announcement from the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This decision comes as the government faces significant backlash following the deaths of two US citizens, Alex Pretti and Renee Good, amid a heightened presence of federal immigration officers in the area. 'Effective immediately we are deploying body cameras to every officer in the field in Minneapolis,' stated DHS Secretary Kristi Noem via social media. Following a medical examiner's ruling that Pretti’s death was a homicide due to multiple gunshot wounds fired by law enforcement, the DHS's swift action aims to increase accountability. The body camera program is expected to expand nationwide once funding becomes available. The recent incidents have prompted investigations by the US Department of Justice and discussions among legal and governmental leaders aiming to ensure safety and cooperation within the community. As part of these developments, the administration has also emphasized ongoing tensions between federal and local authorities regarding immigration enforcement policies.
