ICE advances: the new modus operandi to accelerate the detention of immigrants on highways The agency reactivated vehicle stops and will require at least one body camera per arrest team - 2 minutes reading LA NACION The Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE) resumed vehicle stops on highways, according to border agent Tom Homan. Each arrest team will have at least one officer with a body camera. What changed in ICE vehicle stops - According to CBS News, the Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS) Markwayne Mullin had paused vehicle stops. - President Donald Trump reversed that suspension and the border agent confirmed on Fox News that traffic stops have resumed. - "Traffic stops have resumed, that is true. It is mandatory to carry a body camera during the operation," said Homan. "[Mullin] took measures for the safety of the officers and the way we conduct operations." What the new ICE body cameras consist of - The budget for the technology exceeded $120 million. - According to CBS News, the DHS reported that more than half of the field offices already have cameras. The rest will receive them within 60 days. - The ICE tested 1600 cameras in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Detroit, Buffalo, and Washington, according to the same report. - Homan stated in Face the Nation, from CBS News, that the cameras have already been purchased and will be used to monitor the instructors. Background to the new ICE modus operandi for vehicle detentions - On July 7th, an ICE officer killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican who had lived in the U.S. for decades, in Houston. - Days later, another officer killed a Colombian in Biddeford, Maine. - Neither of the officers was wearing a body camera, and the DHS acknowledged that neither man was the target of the operations, according to CBS News. - "I find it outrageous and ridiculous to hear that no one in that van was the subject of any investigation," said Ronald Salgado, the eldest son of the Mexican man killed in Houston, in an interview with The New York Times.
