"Law enforcement authorities in the United States have for years circumvented the US Constitution's Fourth Amendment by purchasing data on US residents that would otherwise need to be obtained by a warrant. Today, Immigration and Customs Enforcement apparently thinks it can ignore long-standing constitutional protection by warrantlessly breaking down doors to arrest people, according to a recent whistleblower complaint- despite recent federal rulings that doing so violates the Fourth Amendment."
"And despite the Department of Homeland Security's claims that merely naming an ICE agent publicly is akin to "doxing," a WIRED review of LinkedIn found that agents are frequently doxing themselves. Of course, having access to someone's personal information can have consequences: A report this week found that people are less likely to seek medical care due to ad-tech surveillance and ICE enforcement activities."
Federal immigration and law enforcement agencies use warrantless methods to obtain data and make arrests, undermining Fourth Amendment protections. ICE reportedly conducts warrantless door-breaching arrests and plans a multi-state deportation network, while DHS labels public naming of agents as doxing despite agents exposing personal details on LinkedIn. Ad-tech surveillance and enforcement activities discourage people from seeking medical care. Customs and Border Protection sought a "quantum sensor" to detect fentanyl tied to an AI database. A researcher discovered an unsecured database with 149 million login credentials likely collected by infostealing malware; the database was publicly reachable but has been taken offline. TikTok has expanded collection of precise location data.
