Oct. 16 (UPI) -- A federal judge in Chicago ruled Thursday that immigration agents must begin wearing body cameras to record their actions during enforcement operations.
U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis issued the order in federal court in Chicago after reports of immigration agents clashing with residents of the city's Southeast Side, incidents that ended with officers spraying people with tear gas and other chemical agents.
Ellis' decision comes following a temporary restraining order that she issued on Oct. 9 restricting immigration agents' use of non-lethal weapons on civilians.
"I am profoundly disappointed about what has been happening over the last week since I entered this order," Ellis said, the Chicago Sun Times reported. "I live in Chicago, if folks haven't noticed, and I'm not blind, right? So, I don't live in a cave. I have a phone. I have a TV. I have a computer and I tend to get news."
