2. 3DHS defende tiro da ICE em NYC, diz que os oficiais acreditavam estar em perigo.

Ele sugeriu que a “ativação automática de câmeras” seria útil em situações em que “incidentes inesperados e não planejados, não relacionados a operações sensíveis, resultem em uso de força por ou contra o pessoal”.

Automatic activation, it added, would address difficulties ICE agents face in manually turning on their cameras during enforcement operations.

But ICE has rejected the recommendation for automatic activation, which could be triggered by an agent pulling a gun or turning on a car siren. The agency cited privacy concerns.

But the Trump administration faces public pressure to improve transparency during its immigration raids.

Agentes da ICE e de outras agências, como a Customs and Border Protection (CBP), têm sido alvo de acusações de uso excessivo de força e violações das liberdades civis.

In January, two US citizens – Renee Good and Alex Pretti – were shot to death in separate shootings in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during immigration operations.

O New York Times estimou em julho que agentes de imigração abriram fogo em pelo menos 25 pessoas desde o início do segundo mandato de Trump. Uma revisão da CBS News atualizada nesta semana conta pelo menos 30 tiroteios, com nove pessoas mortas e 13 outras feridas.

ICE has often blamed such incidents on aggression against its agents, and it has argued that its officers have opened fire to defend themselves from danger.

But in several cases, that rationale has come under scrutiny.

Critics argued that video footage in Good’s fatal shooting disproved government statements alleging that she had weaponised her vehicle against agents. Her car, according to observers, appeared to be turning away from agents, not towards them.

Em outro caso, o agente da ICE Christian Castro foi acusado de fazer declarações falsas sobre um tiroteio que resultou em lesão a Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, um homem venezuelano que vive em Minneapolis.

Castro faces federal charges for allegedly lying about being attacked with a snow shovel and broom before the shooting, after video footage contradicted his account.

More recently, on October 8, immigration agents shot a man named Oscar Belgal in New York City while his five-year-old son was in the backseat of his car. ICE stated that Belgal appeared to be “going towards officers” in his car when they opened fire.

On Tuesday, a judge rejected the government’s effort to have Belgal deported.

Ativistas dizem que procedimentos de gravação melhores para filmagens de câmeras corporais poderiam ajudar a esclarecer o que aconteceu nesses incidentes.

But the Trump administration has largely refused to implement reforms to ICE protocol.

No início deste ano, democratas no Congresso atrasaram o financiamento do Department of Homeland Security, que supervisiona o ICE, com base na necessidade de realizar mudanças significativas para reduzir incidentes de uso excessivo de força.

The department said on Wednesday that automatically recording cameras could result in “the unauthorised recording of sensitive interactions with informants or victims”.

The agency added that all ICE offices had received body cameras as of August 5, but that training in their use was still ongoing and would be finished “soon”.
