U.S. Border Patrol agents operating in Chicago have now been equipped with body cameras, a development confirmed on Monday during a court hearing addressing the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
This initiative follows a judge's order amid complaints of increasingly combative tactics and over 1,000 arrests.
Last week, U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis mandated that uniformed agents must activate cameras where they are available during arrests, frisks, building searches and deployments to protests.
Kyle Harvick, deputy incident commander with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, informed the judge that every Border Patrol agent involved in Operation Midway Blitz “now has a body-worn camera”.
He added that 201 Border Patrol agents are stationed in the Chicago area, with other federal agencies, such as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, also participating in the operation.

Hulu saw its rate of cancellations double after Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show was temporarily pulled from the air, according to a new report.
Last month, ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live! for about a week following comments the comedian made about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
His suspension caused a wave of outcry from celebrities, politicians and others who believed pulling the show was a violation of free speech protections. Some went as far as to boycott Hulu and Disney+, streaming services of Disney, which is the parent company of ABC.
The rate of Hulu subscription cancellations spiked to 10 percent in September, up from 5 percent in August, according to data from subscription-analytics firm Antenna. Similarly, the rate of Disney subscription cancellations rose to 8 percent from 4 percent.

Israel has reaffirmed its commitment to a ceasefire in Gaza despite launching a fresh wave of strikes on the enclave and temporarily shutting off aid.
The IDF said in a statement that terrorists had fired an anti-tank missile and gunfire towards IDF troops working in Rafah on Sunday.
An Israeli military official told The Independent that Hamas had carried out “multiple attacks” against Israeli troops beyond the agreed withdrawal line in a “bold violation of the ceasefire”.
“The attacks included an RPG shot at a military force, and a sniper fire against a military force,” they added. “Both of the incidents happened in an Israeli-controlled area, east to the yellow line. This is a bold violation of the ceasefire.”
The Israeli strikes killed at least 45 people in Gaza, according to local residents and health authorities.

CloseTrump says Tomahawks were discussed during ‘very productive’ call with PutinDonald Trump told Volodymyr Zelensky to accept Russia’s terms or risk facing destruction in an explosive meeting in Washington DC on Friday.
President Zelensky’s visit to the Oval Office allegedly turned into a “shouting match”, with Trump “cursing all the time”, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.
Trump was said to toss aside maps of the Ukrainian frontline, urging Zelensky to surrender the Donbas region to Russia, seemingly adopting points Vladimir Putin made to Trump in their call the day before, in which he demanded that Ukraine surrender key territory.
Zelensky was said to bring Trump back to endorsing a freeze of the current front lines.
Donald Trump said he expected Ukraine to make territorial concessions in any peace agreement, and indicated that under a deal authored by the White House, Russia would likely be allowed to retain territory it has occupied since 2022.
“Well, he's gonna take..
