ICE says it expects to equip every field officer with body cameras by the end of AugustICE is moving to equip officers with body cameras in the next two months but the agency's policy gives it broad control over what footage will be made public by specifying any releases must be in its "best interests."
ICE has been under heightened scrutiny since the fatal shooting in July of a 25-year-old motorist in Maine by an ICE officer with a history of violent behavior.
Days earlier, another ICE officer shot and killed a Houston homebuilder driving to work.
Neither shooting was recorded with body cameras.
Venturella said ICE was "committed to transparency and accountability" and was "on track to equip every officer and agent in the field with body-worn cameras by the end of August."
