"President Donald Trump made countering immigration one of his flagship issues during last year's presidential campaign, promising an unprecedented number of deportations. In his first eight months in office, that promise turned into around 350,000 deportations, a figure that includes deportations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (around 200,000), Customs and Border Protection (more than 132,000), and almost 18,000 self-deportations, according to CNN."
"On Monday, 404 Media reported that ICE has signed a contract with the company to support its law enforcement arm Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), "with capabilities of identifying victims and offenders in child sexual exploitation cases and assaults against law enforcement officers." According to a government procurement database, the contract signed last week is worth $3.75 million. ICE has had other contracts with Clearview AI in the last couple of years."

ICE has conducted raids on homes, workplaces, and public parks to locate undocumented immigrants. ICE uses several technologies to identify and surveil individuals and communities. Clearview AI supplies facial recognition capabilities to ICE's Homeland Security Investigations with a $3.75 million contract, following prior purchases of forensic software and enterprise licenses.
