There is no evidence of a formal Obama-era policy allowing or encouraging agents to routinely cover their faces during immigration arrests.
More consistent oversight and discipline
Accountability mechanisms included:
* DOJ Civil Rights Division investigations
* DHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) probes
* Internal Affairs investigations
* Public discipline and firings in misconduct cases
Stronger use of:
* Body cameras (in pilot programs)
* Written arrest and use-of-force policies
* More cooperation with court-ordered consent decrees
there was:
✔ More paper trail
✔ Clearer identification
✔ Easier complaint filing
✔ Greater likelihood of internal discipline
