Trust Through Transparency Act of 2025

Introduced·9/30/25

The Trust Through Transparency Act of 2025 mandates immigration enforcement officers to use body cameras during public immigration enforcement.

The Trust Through Transparency Act of 2025 amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to require all immigration enforcement officers to wear and operate body cameras during public-facing immigration enforcement actions. This includes activities such as patrols, stops, arrests, searches, and interviews to determine immigration status. The video footage from these body cameras must be retained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement for six months unless it captures specific events, such as use of force, events preceding an arrest, or has evidentiary value.
