ICE plans to spend $20 million tax payer dollars to give gloves that deliver electric shocks to their agents.
They’ve murdered three US citizens.
They’ve killed countless immigrants.
They’ve used excessive force to demean, terrorize, disable & harm.
They’ve traumatized entire cities.
They’ve forced people to hide in their homes for fear of being rounded up and disappeared.
They don’t need gloves that can deliver electric shocks, they need to be abolished and prosecuted.
They need to be stopped.

The always-invaluable 404 Media has scored another minor coup. We all know ICE is heavily invested in surveillance tech, ranging from its purchases of cell location data from data brokers to throwing money at Clearview AI, the most notorious of facial recognition tech firms. But there’s so much more to it than that. On top […]
#Asylum seekers could be sent directly to #deportation under new federal rule
The #Trump admin rule, which took effect immediately, could transfer nearly 450,000 cases to #immigration “judges” [immigration judges are part of the #DOJ not the #judiciary], who could dismiss the asylum petitions.

So, while Sam #Tunick is a specific case where the feds were looking for a reason to get into his phone without a warrant, we need to talk about how much power #CBP / #ICE has accumulated since the passage of the #Patriot Act.
Under the "border search doctrine", ICE and CBP agents have broad power to search people or property at the border. Any search at the border is considered “reasonable,” meaning no warrant or probable cause is required.
That’s further complicated by the fact that the “border” can be broadly defined as a border-functioning location like an international airport or even within 100 miles of the U.S. border as drawn on a map.
Right now, about 2/3rds of Americans live within an area where ICE can search you without a warrant. While carve-outs for phones existed, the 4th circuit just took some of that protection away.
