ICE’s Surveillance Arsenal Expands to Track Suspects and Protesters
TL;DR
The Washington Post reports that ICE has broadened its deportation-driving surveillance toolkit to include facial recognition (NEC, Clearview AI), iris scanning, license-plate readers, cell-site simulators, geofenced location data from brokers like Penlink, digital-forensics tools, and drones, expanding monitoring of immigrants and anti-ICE protesters. Civil rights groups warn this poses privacy and free-speech risks, even as DHS notes expanded use of these technologies and stresses warrants for certain tools.
