"Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) appears to be purchasing records related to immigrantsâ tax identifiers from a data broker, potentially skirting a court order that banned ICE from sourcing such information, according to Senator Ron Wyden and government procurement records reviewed by 404 Media.
The contract, worth nearly $10 million, is related to ITINs, or Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers, which is the identifier many undocumented people use to file their taxes rather than a Social Security number (SSN).
âIt looks for all the world like Trump is trying to skirt the law and a court order to fuel his mass-deportation campaign,â Senator Wyden told 404 Media in an emailed statement after reviewing the procurement records. âA court has already struck down an agreement between the IRS and Homeland Security to illegally share ITINs and other personal information.
A contract to buy that same information from private data brokers is a clear end-around both taxpayer privacy laws and a court order.â"

âThe opinion of the forensic pathologist in this case is that Ms. Michel was a vulnerable adult, suffering from untreated severe #MentalHealth issues & a significant #LanguageBarrier when she was released from federal custody on February 27,â Jim Madalinsky, the countyâs public information officer, said in a statement. âBased on all available information during the investigation, the pathologist ruled Ms. Michelâs death a #homicide.â
Over the course of 3 days, Michel appears to have never left that bench, said her familyâs attorney, who viewed the security footage & shared stills with WaPo. She had a history of untreated mental health issues & sat staring as people passed by, a plastic bag with her belongings, including a cellphone, placed beside her.

By March 2, the Haitian woman was no longer sitting. The last image captured in the footage, according to the attorney, shows her lying on the ground. Emergency responders arrived at the scene & transferred Michel to a hospital, where she died that day.
It was at least the second death this year involving an individual who was released by federal #immigration authorities & died days later of complications related to hypothermia.
Death of woman released by #ICE on a winter day is now ruled a #homicide
The grainy security footage from the Pittsburgh transit authority shows Daphy Michel seated on a steel bench. She had been released hours earlier from ICE custody, & temperatures that night would dip to freezing. The 31-year-old #asylum seeker wore only a hooded sweatshirt to keep herself warm.

How Hackers Are Fighting Back Against ICE
âICE has been invading U.S. cities, targeting, surveilling, harassing, assaulting, detaining, and torturing people who are undocumented immigrants. They also have targeted people with work permits, asylum seekers, permanent residents (people holding âgreen cardsâ), naturalized citizens, and even citizens by birth. ICE has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on surveillance technology to spy on anyoneâand potentially everyoneâin the United States. It can be hard to imagine how to defend oneself against such an overwhelming force.
But a few enterprising hackers have started projects to do counter surveillance against ICE, and hopefully protect their communities through clever use of technologyâŠ.â

Whistleblower drops 'largest ever' #ICE leak to unmask agents
âA whistleblower has released the identities of approximately 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol agents, marking what may be the largest data breach in the Department of Homeland Security's history. The leak, published on ICE List, was triggered by national outrage following the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agentâŠ.â

The Zine from 404media About ICE Surveillance Is Here!
https://www.404media.co/icezine/
"You are holding a zine about the surveillance tools used by ICE, and what we have learned so far about how you can resist this technology.
This zine was reported and written by 404 Media, a journalist-owned investigative website and now, we suppose, a print publication. Our status as a small outfit of reporters who own the means of production (a website), means that we have the freedom to report on the topics we believe are the most important. For the last year, that has been Donald TrumpÊŒs mass deportation
campaign, and the technology powering it."

While everyone is distracted by the scripted ICE theater the counter-reformation unification of Roman Church and state proceeds stealthily. Rome's agents are slowly converting America to the Imperial Roman religion. This is the true goal of so-called 'Christian Nationalism': the forcible conversion of America to Roman imperial Christianity, a la Constantine and Justinian.
From his bully pulpit the President is proclaiming Imperial Roman religion about their Roman moon goddess Mary, also known as Minerva, Venus, Easter, Astarte, Semiramis, and Isis.
Presidential Message on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception
"In her honor, and on a day so special to our Catholic citizens, we remember the sacred words that have brought aid, comfort, and support to generations of American believers in times of need: Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen."
