More than three weeks after Rep. Troy Nehls demanded the U.S. Marshals Service turn over body-worn-camera footage of a District of Columbia jail guard spraying mace at Ronald Colton McAbee in September 2022, Marshals have not complied.

During a Feb. 14 hearing of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance, Mr. Nehls (R-Texas) told Marshals Service Director Ronald Davis it would be his “personal mission” to make sure the bodycam footage is made public.
