Briefly

The U.S. Postal Service's law enforcement division has partnered with the Department of Homeland Security to assist in finding and deporting immigrants. DHS has requested access to USPS's extensive surveillance data, including online account details, tracking information, and photographs of the exterior of mail. This proposal raises significant privacy issues, as the USPS is a vital institution for communication and commerce. Critics argue that using the USPS for surveillance threatens immigrants' data privacy rights and could expand to monitor all residents, undermining constitutional protections.
