Since Congress gave ICE and Border Patrol hundreds of billions of dollars in unnecessary funding last year, the Trump administration has doubled down on the use of shadowy surveillance technology to supercharge its lawless and violent immigration operations. The Department of Homeland Security’s use of such biased and error-prone technology to go after our communities and to scare people speaking out against ICE’s abuses is disgusting and blatantly illegal. It’s vital that Congress pass the ICE Out of Our Faces Act as soon as possible, and that our leaders use their funding power to rein in these out-of-control agencies.
