If bodycams videos are not provided, the court should assume the worst possible scenario. Death penalty or life sentence. It would magically star appearing.
They always had money for cameras. They were just given even more money under the pretense of spending it on cameras.
Even if they do get cameras, and the agents are required to wear them in the end, the recordings will just be deleted or never shared with the public. Assuming the cameras will be on at all.
Pretty sure that "right" doesn't exist in the US. You have a right not to testify against yourself, but you do not have a right to withold evidence of your crime.
Example. I have a right not to be compelled to say I was embezzling money from employee retirement accounts. I don't have a right to suppress emails and account statements that documented the embezzlement.
The ICE officer cannot be compelled to testify that he just murdered someone based solely on their race. He also cannot suppress body cam footage, doubly so since he does not own the footage, the state/his employer does.
Whats worse is they wouldn't even have funding right now if not for the fact that they used reconciliations to ammend the budget a few weeks ago. Every Single Republican has to go.
Let's be realistic about possible outcomes, Trump won with a plurality and for all their evil there are even worse external threats to the nation. We couldn't do that if we tried and the left isn't real big on capital punishment to begin with.
And in the process you burn down dozens of other countries by leaving Russia and China unchecked, starting with Ukraine and Taiwan and spreading outwards from there. Like it or not, reform is the only way forward with any chance of freedom and democracy winning.
If thats what you think, I'm not wasting anymore breath on you then. Dozens of other countries would flourish and finally have the boot off its neck. America isn't exceptional, it's just delusional.
It will be hard for you to find an American, even a "leftist" one, who will vocally and visibly agree with you. The inculcation is too deep and too early.
All the justifications I read for keeping the boot in place is, incredibly, to keep a worse boot from presumably replacing it. What an argument.
Anecdotally I'm an American who agrees. Our culture needs to adapt. To be fair, the internet informs me that I'm not a true leftist because I don't want to keep putting pigs in charge of the farm.
What the ICE is doing now is what China has been doing to its people for the better part of a century. Where the ICE are failing to commit a genocide, China succeeded in Xinjiang and Tibet.
I know that this opinion is gonna get me down voted to oblivion, but I'm reminded of the scene in Black Hawk Down where the young trooper in the Hummvee yells "They're shootin' at us, Sir!" And then Tom Sizemore (may he rest in peace) yells back "Well shoot back!"

Nobody is talking about it? They have been in the news...
It's insane.

They should be considered as off duty unless their body-cam is on and recording.
If the "officer" doesn't have the camera on and recording, then they shouldn't have qualified immunity. Full stop.

The man murdered on July 13 was Joan Sebastian Guerrero.

...to prison.

He didn't win anything, he cheated, and EVERYBODY knows it. We just have a severely mentally-ill nation who refuses to look at it.
Uh oh, this guy is ranting about elections. Must be one of those January 6th supporters. /joking

No one will "flourish" under that.

They were wearing cameras.
Weren't the fascists wearing cameras though? They appear to be in the stills that I have seen.
You can see them wearing cameras in the pictures. Don't let them lie to you.
Because the head of ICE isn't an attention whore. He's just trying to do it for the love of the game... Noem wanted the accolades for her evil.
