A federal judge ordered immigration officers in the Chicago area to wear body cameras, citing televised images of tear gas and clashes with protesters during the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis, who previously required badges and barred certain riot-control tactics against peaceful demonstrators and journalists, said she worries her orders aren’t being followed. A government attorney blamed selectively edited media reports. Separately, another judge halted a bid to deploy National Guard troops. ICE began rolling out about 1,600 cameras in 2024.
