ICE is spending $31M on body cameras, but an internal policy may be used to withhold footage unless release is in the “best interest of the agency.” Luckily, an agency’s PR concerns are not a FOIA exemption. Read more in The Classifieds.

I don’t mean to be a caricature, but this just isn’t law. The Supreme Court is always making policy. But this is beyond. “This dicta in an emergency order will reassure the markets but just uh trust us on the law here ok no we’re not overruling Humphrey’s yet and when we do we’ll spare the fed.”
Finally, respondents Gwynne Wilcox and Cathy Harris contend that arguments in this case necessarily implicate the constitutionality of for-cause removal protections for members of the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors or other members of the Federal Open Market Committee.
See Response of Wilcox in Opposition to App. for Stay 2-3, 27-28; Response of Harris in Opposition to App. for Stay 3, 5-6, 16-17, 36, 40. We disagree. The Federal Reserve is a uniquely structured, quasi-private entity that follows in the distinct historical tradition of the First and Second Banks of the United States. See Seila Law, 591 U. S., at 222, n. 8.
