We will rapidly acquire and deploy body cameras to DHS law enforcement across the country,' Noem wrote in a message on social media.Adoption of body cameras has been a core demand of Democrats who oppose continued funding for DHS, contributing to a partial government shutdown this week as lawmakers stalemate over how the White House's immigration priorities get their funding.Democrats have called for significant changes to DHS, specifically to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Proposals include banning masks for agents, requiring body cameras and visible identification, and ending some roving patrols, particularly in Democrat-led cities like Minneapolis.RELATED STORY | Bystander videos highlight Trump administration's pattern of deception in MinneapolisThe immigration surge has led to a month of unrest in Minneapolis and led to the deaths of two U.S. citizens, who were shot by DHS officers.
