Federal immigration officers in the Chicago area will be required to wear body cameras, a judge said Thursday after seeing tear gas and other aggressive steps used against protesters.

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis said she was a “little startled” after seeing TV images of clashes between agents and the public during President Donald Trump’s administration’s immigration crackdown.

“I live in Chicago if folks haven’t noticed,” she said. “And I’m not blind, right?”

Every win matters. It's so important to see sensible judges.

Also said that if they don't have cameras they wouldn't be expected to use something they don't have (yet) but they would talk about it Monday.

So they will eventually be wearing cameras, but there is no timeline for when.

Cue boondoggle contract bidding, as per usual.

I feel like the wording the judge used was to prevent some fucked up legal monkey paw scenerio. Somehow they'll try to get around it I'm sure.

After finally agreeing to the conditions, they absolutely would have left the cameras off if the judge did not include that requirement. We will probably soon see body cams with the recording light blinking and tape completely covering the lens. "bEcAuSe YoU dIdN't SaY wE cOuLdN't CoVeR tHe LeNs"
