✦AI Summary
ICE has significantly increased its contract with Thomson Reuters to access massive data surveillance tools, including license plate readers and risk-scoring models. The agency claims these tools are necessary for immigration and national security, though critics raise concerns about the scope of data collection on unaccompanied minors and citizens.
“Due to ICE’s re-prioritized mission,” the document reads, “there is a need for the data to be readily accessible to support the presidential mandate of the identification of Voters fraud, Immigration Fraud, and National Security.”
