I prioritize the body worn cameras after the shooting in Minneapolis

Why we checked itCollins claims she took action on body worn cameras specifically in response to a shooting in Minneapolis — the existence of such a shooting and her legislative/policy response are verifiable
What we foundCollins did secure $20 million in body-worn camera funding in the April 2026 DHS appropriations bill, and this came after fatal federal shootings in Minneapolis in January 2026, but the characterization that she 'prioritized' cameras is contested by her June vote against a Democratic bill that would have mandated agents wear them.
