What I got from reading the article - but not the headline or the comments.

- ICE is moving to start using cameras (currently not using them) so this move overall increases the amount of footage that exists and can be released.

- Their stayed approach is analogous to other law enforcement approaches already in use.

So the headline should be "ICE to start using body cameras". I suspect this is in general good news for ICE - most police departments that once felt "forced" to use body cameras have found that the cameras have been good for their image. Incidents that could have previously been trumpeted as an unjustified police action now have the context of what the suspect was doing just prior that justify the action. I think ICE is betting on the same and the "look what our agents have to deal with" footage may get public airplay into their favor.

We'll see

Yes, I too benefit from controlling the publicity, messaging, narrative and history surrounding my actions.

Agreed, I hope the moderators here editorialize this headline to try and spur more neutral discussion. It's worth waiting to see what the outcomes of this would be.
