U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is seeking to hire a private contractor to monitor social media for threats, primarily those that may negatively impact the agency and its personnel. This move follows an alleged increase in threats against ICE officials. The contractor will provide comprehensive monitoring services, including vulnerability assessments and real-time threat alerts. ICE's objective is to enhance its security measures by closely tracking public sentiments related to the agency and its operations, while ensuring proactive response to potential threats.
ICE is citing "an increase in threats" to agents and leadership as the reason for seeking a contractor to keep tabs on the public's social media activity.
The contractor "shall provide all necessary personnel, supervision, management, equipment, materials, and services... in support of ICE's desire to protect ICE senior leaders, personnel, and facilities via internet-based threat mitigation and monitoring services."
