"Rep. Summer Lee expressed concerns that the agency is moving forward with invasive spyware technology domestically, criticizing the lack of accountability and transparency."

The agency's contract with Paragon was initially suspended but later reactivated. ICE claims the spyware is necessary for countering terrorist communications and adheres to constitutional standards, yet lacks transparency on its scope and oversight.
