Immigration Enforcement Staff Body Camera Accountability Act

HR 4651 requires U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers, as well as detention facility staff interacting with detainees, to wear body cameras during all official operations. The bill mandates cameras be turned on at shift start and remain active continuously, with footage made available to parties in related legal proceedings. It also establishes policies for using AI/facial recognition on footage, prohibits staff from claiming camera malfunctions without evidence, and subjects violators to disciplinary actions like pay reduction or suspension. The law must be implemented using existing funding, with annual privacy assessments of how footage is handled.
