The Trump administration presented efforts to expand the use of body cameras by immigration officers and significantly reduced the number of supervisory staff. At the same time, a large number of officers were sent to Minneapolis and other cities, leading to a series of violent clashes.
Authorities stated that the new measures are aimed at increasing the efficiency of the immigration service. However, critics argue that this will lead to increased tension and human rights violations.
"We see that the use of body cameras helps to increase transparency and accountability," the administration said in a statement. However, human rights activists doubt the effectiveness of such measures.
