Republican lawmakers raise concerns after two ICE officer shootings in a week

Lawmakers from both parties expressed alarm over recent ICE incidents. Two ICE officers were shot in separate incidents within a single week. The shootings occurred in Maine and Texas. Both officers were not wearing body cameras at the time. Congress had approved funding for body cameras for ICE personnel months earlier. The lack of cameras raises questions about officer safety and accountability. Republican members are particularly vocal about the oversight gap. The issue may prompt renewed scrutiny of ICE equipment policies.
