ICE is increasingly resembling an authoritarian police state, targeting immigrants in various public venues under the Trump administration. Recent court cases reveal a focus on punishing thought crimes and conducting raids primarily against Spanish-speaking individuals. A federal trial in Boston uncovered that ICE's parent agency, DHS, created a 'tiger team' to expedite deportation cases targeting foreign students. Information for these cases often came from the Canary Mission website, which is known for unsourced accusations. This raises serious concerns about civil liberties and the use of dubious information in enforcement actions.
DHS convened a 'tiger team' dedicated to streamlining deportation cases, targeting foreign students using information from the controversial Israel-based doxxing site Canary Mission.
Peter Hatch testified that many names targeted by DHS in deportation efforts came from Canary Mission, and the information was confirmed with counterterrorism intelligence analysts.
