Homan said funding delays tied to a partial government shutdown slowed the effort, and that cameras have been purchased and are being distributed, with training underway.

   1. Homan said on CBS' "Face the Nation" that body cameras provide transparency by letting the public see what officers see during critical incidents.
   2. According to the reports, two ICE-involved shootings occurred earlier this month, one in Maine and one in Texas, and officers were not equipped with body cameras.
   3. Homan said camera funding was delayed because of a partial shutdown of the government earlier this year; the cameras have been bought, are being handed out, and training is in progress.
   4. The Department of Homeland Security pledged to equip all ICE agents with body cameras and blamed the delay on government shutdowns, according to the reports, which state plans call for equipping all ICE field offices within the next 60 days.
