Protecting Our Communities Act mandates body and dashboard cameras for federal immigration enforcement, restricts their use, and requires reporting.
The Protecting Our Communities Act requires federal immigration enforcement personnel to use body-worn cameras and dashboard cameras in their operations. It prohibits the use of these cameras for intelligence gathering based on First Amendment activities or unrelated to immigration enforcement, and bans facial recognition technology. Footage must be retained for one year and can be inspected by subjects, their legal counsel, and others. The Act mandates training in de-escalation tactics and alternatives to force, and requires reports on the use of non-deadly force and assaults on personnel.
