You Can’t Do Mass Deportations Without Mass Domestic Surveillance And ICE Is Already Exploring Its Options

Summary

ICE buys location info from data brokers to evade warrant requirements. It slurps data from utility companies to locate immigrants who need electricity, heat, and internet connections.

Paragon is a company that will only allow the U.S. government to target US citizens. The company was able to demonstrate that it had robust tools to prevent other countries that purchase its spyware from hacking Americans.

As Farrow’s article points out, the federal government has “struggled” both in terms of oversight and accountability when it comes to expanded surveillance powers and surveillance tech rollouts. But no one can argue this turn of events is going to make America great again. It’ll just make America something it’ve never been.
