#ice-surveillance

The initiative, part of a series of recent contracts with technology companies, seeks to expand Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) ability to monitor people through their social media to levels that threaten to violate constitutional rights. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued a solicitation seeking private companies to deploy at least 30 analysts to ICE monitoring centers in Williston, Vermont, near Canada, and in Santa Ana, California. The request is for a round-the-clock surveillance operation using the latest technology, including artificial intelligence, to support efforts to increase deportations.
