The ACLU is urging CBP to require its agents to wear body cameras to improve accountability and transparency, Valley Central reports.
In the past four years, CBP agents have killed about 19 people.
“We know there is a lack of oversight, accountability and training at the same time and that should be taken care of”, ACLU Advocacy Coordinator Astrid Dominguez said.
The call comes less than a week after a Border Patrol agent killed himself after assaulting three immigrants.
“When this type of incident happened, like everybody just keeps on asking questions,” Dominguez said. “In this case you know the agent is not here anymore, but what about the solutions to avoid or to prevent this type of incidents in the future.”
