The Trump administration, however, moved last year to slow-walk a pilot program to give ICE officers body cameras, urging Congress in June to cut the funding by 75% and bucking a nationwide trend ‌of cameras for law enforcement."
Yep, reduce the number of oversight staff, don't have more body cameras, or even have less of them.
Why? Because if people can't PROVE THINGS, they can't get angry.
Basically what places like China do. Something happens, they remove all the evidence from the internet.
When your president is learning from China and Russia, you know you have problems.
