Immigration officials created network that can spy on majority of Americans, report says [Los Angeles Times :: BC-ICE-SURVEILLANCE:LA]
ICE spent an estimated $2.8 billion between 2008 and 2021 on new surveillance, data collection and data-sharing initiatives, according to the Georgetown report. The large scale of ICE surveillance came as a shock even to the report’s authors. Gavin Newsom signed a bill in 2020 that promised to protect utility customer data from exposure to federal immigration officials. “Every time we create a law in California, ICE figures out a way to get around this,” she conceded at the time. The report made a list of recommendations on how to curtail ICE surveillance, including urging Congress to take action and impose oversight.
