The United States is seeing a surge in deportation efforts under President Donald Trump. Tom Homan, known as Trump’s “border czar,” has announced that more teams are being deployed to find and detain people living in the country without proper documentation.
This increased enforcement comes at a time when reports indicate that Border Patrol agents may no longer need to use body cameras during their interactions. The potential lack of recorded footage has raised concerns about the transparency and accountability of agents tasked with border security.
For many immigrant communities and activists, the absence of body cameras is troubling. Body cameras have been seen as a tool to ensure fair treatment and to protect both officers and individuals during encounters.
As these developments unfold, there is growing anxiety among undocumented immigrants and their families, while discussions about immigration reform and human rights continue to stir debate across the nation.
