This bill proposes significant updates to current statutes regarding the operation of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Arizona. It introduces a new article that mandates all ICE officers who have contact with the public to be equipped with body-worn cameras, which must be activated during interactions unless specific exceptions apply. The bill defines "contact" and "tamper," establishing clear guidelines for when cameras should be used and the consequences for failing to do so. It also outlines the disciplinary actions that may be taken against officers who intentionally fail to activate their cameras or tamper with footage, including potential termination.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that ICE officers must register their names and badge numbers with the Department of Public Safety and prohibits detaining individuals solely based on their race, ethnicity, or national origin. It establishes a process for parties involved in incidents with ICE officers to file constitutional objections regarding the release of video recordings, ensuring timely hearings and rulings on such objections. Overall, these updates aim to enhance accountability and transparency in the actions of ICE officers while protecting the rights of individuals.
