ICE will only release body camera footage in its "best interests"
America's immigration enforcement agency, ICE, is giving its officers body cameras, but will only release footage of serious incidents if it benefits the agency. The policy means the public might not see videos of high-profile confrontations, despite taxpayers paying millions for the cameras. Experts say this approach allows ICE to control its image, potentially withholding footage that doesn't show the agency in a good light.
