A recent Government Accountability Office report suggested that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers should have their body-worn cameras turn on automatically whenever they draw a firearm. The recommendation came after a series of ICE shootings drew public scrutiny. While the Department of Homeland Security accepted most findings in the GAO analysis, it rejected the camera activation proposal.
