Here’s the tech powering ICE’s deportation crackdown 

This article outlines U.S. ICE’s expanding surveillance technology ecosystem supporting deportation and investigations, detailing recent and ongoing contracts for cell-site simulators (stingrays), facial recognition (Clearview AI, Mobile Fortify), Israeli spyware from Paragon, phone unlocking and forensics via Magnet/Graykey, historical mobile location and OSINT tools from Penlink (Webloc, Tangles), automated license plate readers (Flock, Ring partnerships), LexisNexis data services, and Palantir’s ICM and ImmigrationOS platforms. It highlights contract values, timelines, and shifting federal oversight (including a stop-work order on Paragon later lifted), and discusses legal and civil liberties concerns around warrantless data access, secrecy, and mass data collection.
