Bass orders LAPD to switch on body-worn cameras when arriving at ICE raids

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass signed an executive directive this week requiring Los Angeles Police Department officers turn on their body-worn cameras when arriving at the scene of a federal immigration enforcement operation.

During a news conference at City Hall, Bass said the directive is intended to establish additional safety measures during federal immigration enforcement actions in the city.

The order also requires LAPD officers who respond to an immigration enforcement scene to capture video and preserve the video.
