CBP outfits border agents with body cameras amid crisis

Customs and Border Protection said Wednesday that it has begun outfitting thousands of officers with body cameras to monitor their actions in the field even as the Biden administration struggles to handle the massive number of migrants crossing the border.

“Our agents and officers serve the public and protect our borders every day with great skill and professionalism,” said acting CBP Commissioner Troy Miller in a statement. He said the technology would provide “greater transparency” into “interactions between CBP officers and agents and the public.”
