Border Patrol agents have been directed to resume using body cameras days after stopping over concerns about the possibility they could be hacked.
Agency officials told NewsNation that agents will wear cameras normally as the order has been lifted. The outlet had reported that the directive to stop came as a result of concerns that the cameras could be tracked and exploited by bad actors, potentially endangering agents and compromising operations. Therefore, they were directed not to use body-worn cameras (BWC) "pending completion of investigation and risk mitigation."
