  • Funding: At least $10,000,000 must be used to train and equip all officers and agents with activated body-worn cameras during immigration enforcement activities.
  • Storage and Access: Funds will be used for the storage of footage and to make that footage accessible to Congress and the subjects of the footage.
  • Spending Limitation: Other funds in this title cannot be obligated unless the money for the body-worn cameras has already been obligated and awarded.
