• Hollywood Police Department shares license plate data with 365 law enforcement agencies — Records obtained by Miami News Times revealed that Hollywood Police Department in Florida shares license plate reader data collected from 60 Flock cameras purchased in 2024 with 365 law enforcement agencies across the country and federal agencies. The disclosure demonstrates how locally collected vehicle surveillance data becomes accessible far beyond the community where cameras are installed.

• ICE falsely claims body camera delays were caused by Democratic government shutdowns — The Department of Homeland Security and White House Border Czar Tom Homan publicly stated that Democratic government shutdowns prevented ICE from purchasing body cameras for officers. However, government contracting documents obtained by Popular Information show that between April 30, 2026 (when Trump signed the DHS appropriations bill with $20 million for body cameras) and July 17, 2026, ICE spent only $75,000 on new body cameras. ICE did not issue purchase orders for the remaining $30.9 million in body cameras until July 17 and July 20—days after Homan's statements. Additionally, ICE had access to $75 billion in unrestricted funding since July 4, 2025, and contracting authority to purchase up to $100 million in body cameras from Axon Enterprise since 2023, making the shutdown claim factually inaccurate.
• ICE falsely claims body camera purchases were completed before July — White House Border Czar Tom Homan defended ICE after two fatal shootings by agents not wearing body cameras, claiming Democrats had blocked purchases and that ICE bought them "as soon as [they] had funding" in April. Documents obtained by Popular Information show ICE did not spend over $30 million on body cameras until July 17 and 20—days after Homan's statement. The false claim was made in the context of defending the agency after fatal incidents.

• ICE Director Claims Increased Assaults Against Officers — Todd Lyons, acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, justified the use of plainclothes, unidentified agents by citing a 413% increase in assaults against ICE officers. Philip Bump of the Washington Post investigated the claim and found ICE conflated "threatening to assault" with actual assault, avoided disclosing absolute numbers, and refused to provide evidence. Bump concluded ICE's representations should not be taken at face value. The Department of Homeland Security subsequently posted on social media claiming a 500% increase in assaults.
• Department of Homeland Security Attributes ICE Officer Assaults to Democratic Opposition — After Philip Bump's Washington Post article questioned ICE's assault statistics, the Department of Homeland Security posted on social media claiming a 500% increase in assaults and stating: "Make no mistake, sanctuary politicians are contributing to the surge in assaults of our ICE officers through their repeated vilification and demonization of ICE." The statement blamed Democratic legislators for violence against ICE officers.
• ICE Director Lyons defended masked agents and claimed doxxing threat — ICE Director Todd Lyons was asked on Newsmax about calls from Democrats for ICE agents to stop wearing masks. Lyons stated that ICE agents did not have to wear masks before or after January 20, that he personally does not want officers wearing masks because it is hot and dangerous, but that ICE agents are being doxxed at a horrible rate. The bulletin notes that there have not been any incidents of anyone going to the homes of ICE agents and threatening them or their families.
