ICE - Cybersecurity Threat
INTRO
Tyler Callahan
The citizens of the United States are entering an era where surveillance of the populace is attainable to anyone who wants it. Tensions are rising as Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) oversteps bounds and aims to control the masses via various tactics. The individuals deemed as “threats” and the civilian population as a whole are under terror. ICE is now the nation’s most heavily funded law enforcement agency at an astonishing $75 billion in funding, prompting the highly funded organization to delve in a surveillance shopping spree. At ICE’s disposal lies biometric trackers, mobile phone location databases, military specific artificial intelligence and the governmental backing to support its growth. Uprooting an implicit negligence of human rights, which violates the Fourth Amendment. Significantly, this ignores our outright, constitutional and sacramental rights to privacy.
ICE’s expanded use of surveillance technologies has caught the attention of many civil liberties organizations, including the Electronic Frontier foundation (EFF) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Fighting in the interest of our human rights they stand to expose these methods creating clarity and security among the people impacted. Homeland Security embraced a surveillance dragnet, however staying informed can act as a tool of defense in a new abrasively technological age.
These insights give ICE officials the non-consensual ability to view your location, personal information and even obtain around the clock video surveillance. Knowing your rights is of the utmost importance, understanding what is being dished back to the citizens of the U.S. is even more so necessarily comprehensible.
In light of this, attention to the following points is vital, AI used for immigration enforcement purposes, tax payer funding attributed to our own ICE surveillance, governmental infrastructure backing ICE and surveillance technologies used by ICE. This team conducted its research with the intent of educating, a survey which can still be accessed was taken amongst our peers to gain an understanding of awareness, the majority being students at Ohio University.
Theory
Tyler Callahan
Technological Determinism best exemplifies this issue, Surveillance disproportionately targets lower class people and people of color. Technological Determinism argues that advancements influence how people interact and communicate, this is shown in how these surveillance systems target marginalized groups of people. Ensuring our privacy means promoting equity, civil and human rights should be at the forefront of systems design and implementation.
The use of automated decision-making tools, facial recognition, and various other surveillance tools have targeted, criminalized, and profiled marginalized communities who have become disproportionately harmed by data collection practices and privacy abuse from governmental agencies like ICE. Technology drives societal change and shapes cultural values, if the technology we develop implicitly targets marginalized groups it creates an impossible environment for breaking social biases.
Communities of color are especially targeted, discriminated against, and exploited through surveillance, policing, and algorithmic bias. For historically marginalized groups, the right to privacy is a matter of survival. Privacy violations have put these groups at risk of ostracization, discrimination, or even active physical danger. These tensions have long pre-dated the digital age, however what ICE has demonstrated is an inability to break an administration's implicit racism in how they surveil the masses.
How AI is taking your information and giving it to ICE
Rory Shelton
In today's world of border enforcement, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has moved beyond physical patrols and is now using a "digital dragnet" that uses cybersecurity tools and artificial intelligence (AI). The agency's methods for finding, tracking, and detaining people have changed because of this change. ICE can now keep an eye on millions of people with a level of speed and accuracy that was previously impossible by using AI to process huge amounts of data, such as social media activity and utility bills. This change has big moral implications because the line between collecting administrative data and invasive surveillance is getting harder to see.
Skip tracing and automated data ingestion are the main ways that AI takes and gives information to ICE. AI algorithms are made to deal with "Big Data," which is data that users often give up or that third-party companies collect. Commercial data brokers like Thomson Reuters and LexisNexis often collect data when people use weather apps, connect utilities, or post on social media. ICE then uses AI-powered platforms like Palantir's ImmigrationOS or the ELITE tool to compare these different pieces of information. AI serves as the "connective tissue," linking a person’s DMV record to their latest GPS location from a mobile app, effectively building a real-time profile of an individual’s life without their explicit consent (American Immigration Council, 2025).
In this case, cybersecurity means the technical ways that ICE gets around privacy barriers. Mobile Fortify and other tools let officers use facial recognition and biometric scanning right from their mobile devices in the field. ICE also uses advanced forensic software from companies like Cellebrite to get "deleted" or encrypted data off of mobile phones that have been seized. AI makes these cybersecurity efforts better by using machine learning to guess how people will move or to find "high-priority" targets based on how people feel about them on social media. Reports said that by 2026, ICE had added almost 40% more AI to its collection. This included generative AI to summarize investigative leads and automate the monitoring of online dissent (TechPolicy.Press, 2026).
Automating these processes makes people very worried about algorithmic bias and the "black box" nature of AI. It's hard to know how the AI decides who is a "threat" because these systems are often made by private companies. AI can make mistakes when it comes to facial recognition or understanding social media posts, which can lead to wrongful arrests and the targeting of naturalized citizens or legal residents. As AI keeps getting better, policymakers still have to make sure that using these powerful tools doesn't violate basic rights to privacy and due process in the name of national security.
Traditional cybersecurity aims to safeguard data from unauthorized access; however, the challenge with ICE operations lies in the fact that access is technically "authorized" via commercial transactions. This makes a "Data Broker Loophole" that lets government agencies get around the Fourth Amendment. Carpenter v. United States is a famous case that says the government usually needs a warrant to get location data directly from cell phone companies. But ICE has gotten around this by buying the same data from private companies like Babel Street and Venntel.
These businesses collect digital exhaust from the global advertising system. When a user uses a mobile app, like a weather tracker, a game, or a navigation tool, latent code often records the device's GPS coordinates and sells them to aggregators. According to investigative reports, ICE had signed contracts worth more than $1.2 billion with skip tracing companies to automate the identification of more than 1.5 million people by 2026. These private bounty hunters use big language models (LLMs) and predictive algorithms to give targets address confidence scores. This turns consumer marketing data into a map for raids by law enforcement.
The biggest problem we will have to deal with within 2026 and beyond is the lack of transparency. When AI systems like Palantir's ImmigrationOS or the ELITE tool decide who is "high priority," there is no public oversight of those algorithms, which makes enforcement a "black box." Mistakes in data or algorithmic bias can lead to the targeting of legal residents and citizens. This shows that the risks of these technologies go beyond any one group of people.
Tax Payer Funding Attributed
Matthew Garfinkle
ICE receives an overwhelming majority of its funding from the federal government. This money specifically comes from tax revenue, which is something that impacts every United States citizen. While it is simple to understand that taxes go towards government agencies, the actual process of how ICE receives its money is much more complicated. ICE, itself, does not ask for direct funding from the federal government. Rather, it receives its funding as an agency under the umbrella of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), who requests funding from the government instead. This funding is referred to as an appropriations bill. Each year, Congress passes one for this department, just as it does for every other department it oversees. This bill sets the total amount of money that the DHS is allowed to spend, as well as breaks it down by component in terms of how much money is allowed to be used for each part of the department. This includes ICE, a component of the DHS, that historically has received funding for concepts such as border and homeland security. However, this funding is increasingly growing towards surveillance technologies, bordering on a complete surveillance infrastructure. This funding is typically labeled as simple technology upgrades, but in reality function as information collection, storage, and surveillance.
The appropriations process is relatively straightforward and transparent. Everything starts at the president's desk, where the budget request is written. This budget request is a massive document that contains information on how the administration wants to fund each department it oversees, and all of the components and agencies within each department. The DHS budget is included in this budget bill. All of this information is available to the public, but is typically filled with so much information and technical language that it can be difficult to see how these agencies are specifically shaped. The bill sets the tone for how much money and where it is being spent, but is not law. Next, the budget request moves to Congress, where the House and Senate simultaneously draft their own DHS funding bills through appropriations committees. They hold hearings where agency officials are questioned in order to obtain the information they need to draft the bill, as well as a companion report that specifies where specific money is going in relation to ICE, as well as other agencies. By the time these budget requests and bills come to the floor for debate, most key decisions and requests are already set in stone. Additionally, these budget requests and bill drafts give everyone involved in decision-making a clear idea of what priority the administration has for ICE and funding the agency.
After this, bills are simultaneously debated on the House and Senate floors. They are then reconciled after being passed in each chamber in order to be brought to the president’s desk to be signed into law. After this, the budget is set for all departments and agencies, including the DHS and ICE. Importantly, government infrastructure is set up so that once ICE’s budget hits a certain level, it is locked in. Theoretically, Congress is supposed to revisit the spending each year, but in today’s political climate there are many disagreements, causing lawmakers to fall-back on using short-term or emergency measures to extend last year’s funding, instead of agreeing on new terms. This lets ICE continuously operate at an existing level, without any of their programs being endorsed by the government. Historically, and as recent as 2024, this has hovered at a level of $9.6 billion each year. (EFF, 2026). Additionally, within the recent political climate and the current administration’s support of the agency, there have been numerous emergency spending measures increasing the already significant baseline funding they receive. In 2026, measures proposed are projected to increase ICE’s funding to $84.85 billion (EFF, 2026). Emergency and short-term measures are the other way that ICE receives its funding but this all still comes from taxpayer pools.
While this money is appropriated by the government, there is vague language that allows ICE to be more free with its money than the average agency. Most notably, this problem exists in funding allocated to ICE for “modernization” and “information technology.” Appropriations bills do not specify what tools, systems, or contracts can be used under these sections, giving ICE free reign on what kinds of systems they can use. This allows ICE to experiment with new, controversial surveillance technologies without oversight, as well as create significant contracts with private security and data firms, ultimately resulting in the privatization of citizens’ data. Some significant examples of this include a $25 million biometric data system, a $1 billion contract with technology firm Palantir, $289 million invested into skip-tracing, and a $50 million investment into monitoring social media. Additionally, there are numerous investments into AI to help ICE enhance their data-driven enforcement agenda, only exacerbating the main issue: ICE’s ability to experiment with technology without government oversight. For readers, this essentially means that, on paper, the government is allocating ICE money for routine technology, IT, and data maintenance and upgrades. In reality, they are creating a significant surveillance infrastructure with little oversight, without any input from the people they are receiving funding from.
Overall, this paints a dangerous picture moving forward in today’s political landscape. ICE is looking at receiving a massive increase in their funding. This is largely justified by border security issues debates in Congress and at the Executive level, and exacerbated by increasing anti-immigrant sentiment online. There is also a pattern of ICE receiving extreme criticism from civil liberties unions, lobbyists, and even politicians involved in the debates on the floor. Despite this, as seen in the pattern described, little is done to increase the oversight over ICE or decrease the funding they receive each year. With their extreme investments into data collection, AI, surveillance, and advanced technologies, ICE is building an infrastructure that rivals domestic and foreign militaries. With their internal projects growing in size, they are pivoting towards more private contracts to receive more investments. This creates the biggest danger for readers, which involves their personal data. In order to create these systems and enhancements with private firms, the government has to have the capability to share personal data with them. Since the government does not have any true oversight with this data, they are able to do so without any input from the citizens who pay taxes and continue to be surveilled.
Governmental Infrastructure Supporting this Surveillance
Tyler Callahan
Despite a lack of interest in upholding human rights the United States government has an in depth amount of infrastructure, backing Homeland Security and its department of ICE. During the Trump administration an obscene amount of support has been given to ICE and their goal to rid America of non-citizens. Intrinsically, funding has been compartmentalized into a wide surveillance dragnet. In spite of this what we do have is a voice, our first amendment rights, which can uproot this lack of constitutional integrity which infringes upon the Fourth Amendment and our right to privacy.
At the forefront of infrastructure is H.R. 1 or the Big Beautiful Bill Act, a monstrous bill passed July 4th, 2025 headlined by the Trump administration which additionally. $170 Billion in total with an allocated $75 billion dollars in funding to immigration enforcement. $45 billion funding detention facilities and the rest to means of control and employment. These means of control or deemed “appropriations” fund the billions of dollars including tax payer dollars in contracts dished out to military AI software developers, social media tracking companies, spyware, data broking and cell data collection. This proclaimed “Big Beautiful Bill” diminishes our sovereignty and capitalizes on the privacy of American citizens.
Contracts with organizations which threaten our privacy include Palantir, Clearview AI, Cellebright, Magnet Forensics, Paragon Solutions, Shadow Dragon, Penlink and B12 Technologies. These developers have the means to access data at mass, infiltrating our home and work lives. They know where you’re going, why you’re there, what you’ve done and furthermore use this information to locate “threats” being non-citizens who the administration believes don’t belong here outside of their own fruition. Including location data, financial / utility records, government records such as DMV information and even social media surveillance.
Vanderbilt Law conducted a study which found that “according to an internal ICE legal analysis, the agency claims that this commercial location data can be queried without a warrant because the data is obtained from third-party vendors rather than directly from telecommunications providers. However, privacy advocates argue against this rationale, asserting that this practice is in direct violation of Carpenter v. United States, in which the US Supreme Court held that mobile phone location data revealed so much about people’s lives that, under the Fourth Amendment, authorities need a warrant to access it from phone companies. Critics maintain that allowing government agencies to loophole Carpenter by purchasing location data on the market would render the decision effectively meaningless”. Finding ICE’s use of these third parties is a direct infringement of the constitution.
These infringements extend to more dangerous methods including facial recognition software and “bounty hunter” incentives. Contractors are rewarded for locating and identifying targets, creating incentive for a lack of human rights. Apps like Mobile Fortify have been contracted and used in mass determining “threats” deemed for deportation, including an unreliable AI database to construct deportation plans. Homeland Security is hiding this right underneath us, clearly stated within the agencies AI Use Cases which outlines all AI software in pre-deployment as well as what is currently deployed, including biometric-checks, facial recognition, ICE tip processing, mobile device forensics and so much more. It is seemingly clear that ICE itself is almost entirely run via AI with limited human intention outside of its agents which function based on what the software tells them.
In addition to the Big Beautiful Bill Act is H.R.4213. This slightly unrevealing bill is for “appropriation” giving ICE the ability to do what they please how they please. Outlined in the bill is an incentive for grossing, research, development, training and services for and to immigration enforcement. It allows for security and enforcement being appropriated to the following, U.S. Customs and Border Protection,
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Transportation Security Administration, U.S. Coast Guard, and the U.S. Secret Service. The bill is a means to find these violating actions appropriate, despite the contrary.
ICE’s use of surveillance methods has not come without legal scrutiny. Homeland Security Internal Investigations has been appointed to investigate the allowance of these many surveillance technologies, however being that ICE operates within Homeland Security there is fear that this is a means of distraction, rather than a means to an end.
If the American populus wants to keep their sovereignty, ridding the government of these abilities we must act within our rights. Use our constitution for what it was intended for, to upend a regime which allows such a negligence of human rights. Thankfully a multitude of civil liberties organizations are acting for change, in particular the ACLU which has previously published documents obtaining information on how ICE, Customs and Border Protection, and other parts of DHS have allowed access to huge amounts of highly sensitive location data that enables government tracking of our movements over time. Through thorough investigations, court orders and data collection organizations like the ACLU are nearing the light at the end of the tunnel, it is of utmost importance that civil rights activists and unions remain at the forefront of this fight, in the interest of protecting our intrinsic human rights.
Surveillance Tech Being Used Against Citizens
Landon Levine
ICE has started to grow out in the public tremendously over the past couple of years. Drawing large crowds of protests and a large growth of publicity online. They have gone after people on the street without any known cause, but secretly they are using the AI and surveillance tech to get anyone’s information without people even leaving their house. Now what AI and surveillance tech are they using, you may ask? Well there’s a lot.
To start off with their biggest tech, Palantir. It is the most expensive technology they use. ICE has used Palantir since 2013 and their contract is up to $30 million per year. They use this AI source to pull data from Social Security, the IRS, from peoples passports, DMVs and license plate readers. This helps them build a profile into possible targets to deport out of the USA. As well as using this system to track what they believe to be immigrants in nearly real-time. Another AI they use is Clearview AI. They have a $9.2 million contract with them. This is the largest purchase that the U.S. federal agency has used in order to identify facial recognition. They have used 60 billion photos of people’s faces off of the internet in order to figure out who these people are. Paragon AI is a technology that ICE used illegally until they made it work out legally. This was a foreign spyware from an Israeli company, which isn’t allowed to be used under the executive order 14093. The Biden administration had reviewed and banned ICE from using this program until AE Industrial Partners which is a private equity firm based in Miami. This made it an American spyware and good for them to use. Paragon is used to infect phones without even needing to connect with that user's cellphone. Within infecting these phones they have access to anything on the phone, including encrypted messages and also able to activate cameras and microphones. This leads them to finding any private conversations that no one should’ve been able to see. As well as hearing and seeing their surroundings wherever they are with their phone. They also spend another $2 million on Paragon. Flock Safety is the only main technology that they don’t need a contract for. Flock Safety is an AI license plate reader with over 80 thousand readers nationwide. ICE doesn’t need a contract because the local cops in each reader's area have access to them, so they will just ask them to search. Immigration searches have been banned from being used this way, but there have been over 4 thousand searches anyway. The last main technological program they use is one of their newest, which is B12 Technologies. In late 2025, ICE signed with them for $4.6 million. B12 Technologies can scan a person’s eye if you are anywhere from 10-15 inches with a cellphone. This then goes into a database to possibly find a match right there and then. It is able to be used anywhere.
ICE is able to incorporate all 5 of those AI databases together to track down anyone they feel like they can deport. Starting the process with Clearview AI to search the web and identify any of their possible targets. After starting with that, then moving over to B12 Technologies to go out into the field and ensure that this is the correct person they are targeting. Moving over to Flock Safety where they will go to those local police departments and have them track where their car is traveling to, in order to get a good estimate on where their location is. Use Paragon to read their messages to see where they say they may be going or incriminate themselves. To put it all together they use Palantir and make that profile and make sure they believe everything is all right. Finally they go in and execute and send their agents out there to make an arrest and deport them.
Those were some of their bigger AI systems that ICE has used so far, but they’re so many more. According to the Department of Homeland Security, there are 19 AI-systems in ICEs pre-deployment process and 24 more that are currently in deployment. These numbers may not be 100% accurate up to this date because the website has not been actively managed due to the government shut down and no federal funding. ICE has also managed to skew the numbers to make it not look as bad either as they were able to use some of the systems that Homeland Security has deemed inactive. They took those and turned them into their own and better AIs to work better for themselves. Also they have hired 30 contractors to monitor social media accounts to see anything people decide to post or talk about. This includes platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, and TikTok. They have also gotten an increased budget of nearly triple the amount that they had from 2024 to 2025. It was estimated at around $11.3 billion in 2024 and then jumped up anywhere from $28.7-30 billion in 2025. Within that budget, it was recorded that at least $1.4 billion of that was going to the surveillance tech they are using to spy anyone they want to.
ICE is using all of the new technologies to try and determine if someone deserves to be deported. They are doing all of this with our taxpayer money and breaking into people’s personal property and information. They are able to even stalk you while you are in your own home and giving them no consent whatsoever. As well as using the police that you may even trust to take care of you, but are giving away all of your travel information no matter where you go. For all you know, they may be looking through your camera and listening to your surroundings as you read this right now. It mainly makes things hard to put anything online or to maybe even go anywhere because you never know who is looking into you.
Outside Opinions
Mitchell Mollison
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ettrGy9YO9u2JjvKWYquMhV9sAuWgH44tN-BHle-g3c/edit#responses
We conducted an 8 question survey. 6 were yes or no questions and 2 were short-length. We wanted to get a projection on the familiarity of people recognizing what ICE has done, and what ICE is looking to continue to do. Out of the 30 responses we collected, 63.3% (19 people) believed they are avid news readers. Meanwhile 36.7% (11 people) said no. Although not everyone who responded to the survey considers themselves an “avid news reader” there was a jump in Yes results when we asked if they’ve stayed up to date on ICE’s increased violent actions/retaliations. 83.3% (25 people) and 16.7% (5 people) said no.
Many who aren’t avid news readers/watchers have still heard about the acts of violence ICE has committed on civilians. When asked “what strategies have you seen or heard ICE use in order to target civilians?” We had short and simple responses such as Murder, pepper spray, stalking, community raids, one even said “none.” Some survey responders support the strategies and actions ICE has been conducting to capture and deport people. Many responders gave detailed answers regarding their actions. For example; ICE uses unreliable tips lines and newer surveillance technologies that often lead to extreme stereotyping and biases towards hispanics. This often leads to unlawful arrests. I have heard of databases that collect information that would be pertinent to voting information and flags civilians if they are deemed a threat to the Trump Administration.
When we asked “do you believe that Artificial Intelligence is used mainly for positive reasons?” 66.7% (20 people) and 33.3% (10 people) said they think AI is used for positive reasons. We wanted to develop a pattern to not only see the opinions of the responders, but also educate the responders on what exactly ICE is doing when incorporating artificial intelligence, what exactly the government does to incorporate AI with stealing your personal data, and track your activity online, on the road, and even at home. When we asked if they believed Artificial Intelligence as a whole, could have the capability to steal your personal information, we had a 100% response with yes. We followed up that question by presenting another short-form question asking, If you were to guess, how do you think ICE uses Artificial Intelligence to their advantage? Like the last question some people kept it short and simple with responses such as; stop “criminals,” data collection, I would say no, no idea, and fake jobs/money scams. Two significant responses that we highlighted said; My guess would be to use AI to identify people who may or may not be legal. Their systems are much more advanced than what we have access to, so I'm assuming that would be a big factor, maybe also just to see where most crimes by people that are illegal have happened in the past. Lastly one said, ICE uses AI to their advantage via controversial company Palantir, who uses AI to engage in immoral mass surveillance. They breach privacy rights, mainly targeting the hispanic community.
When we asked “does it concern you knowing AI is starting to shape enforcement decisions including ICE’s deportation strategies?” 86.2% (25 people) said yes and 13.8% (4 people) said no to that question. Lastly, we asked our responders, “Do you believe there needs to be regulation with ICE using Artificial Intelligence to access private information from civilians?” 86.7% (26 people) said yes and 13.3% (4 people) said no to that question. The majority of responders to the survey considered themselves avid news readers, aware of the violent action and retaliations ICE has committed on civilians, believe that AI is not used for positive reasons, believe that AI has the capability of stealing your personal information, concerned about ICE’s already developed and future development of deportation strategies, and firmly believe there needs to be regulation with ICE using AI to access private information from civilians.
Other surveys have been conducted in the past comparing the negative effects of ICE and AI separately. According to a fresh national NBC survey, Americans hate AI more than ICE. Voters in the poll believe that the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the militarized agency, with horrific deportation tactics is viewed more positively than AI and their beliefs that its risks outweigh the benefits. Comparing those results to our conducted survey, people should be concerned with the fact that ICE is committing these brutal deportation acts, shooting unarmed civilians, and tracking private information because of AI itself.
Palantir, an AI software used by ICE, is known to use Gotham which is one of the website's core offerings. Gotham is used as a tool that offers an AI-powered kill chain, responsible for integrating target identification, and target effector pairing. Although this feature is used mainly for soldiers, ICE has used this tool specifically for targeting and identifying civilians in different cities around the United States. Palantir was established in 2003 originally, but gained significant traction as the world of AI has grown bigger and bigger. Recent quarter statistics have shown that Palantir has grown in revenues of $1.141 Billion. The Apollo feature is notably used to collect and serve massive data sets. Data sets that can collect a person’s name, city, job, income, what car they drive, and what they post on the internet through any of their social media accounts that they may have.
Investment firms and stockholders have jumped to gain some shares with Palantir. They have grown significantly these past few years. Many for financial gain see with ICE now using advanced AI, they believe it’s a good idea to invest and grow the revenue that these AI companies have. With this, civilians are not only accusing ICE for mass surveillance, they’re now accusing the military of using mass surveillance, the FBI, the CIA, and local law enforcement. As AI grows, more official companies and government branches will use AI to track even more civilians without them even knowing. Many see it already, and are extremely concerned for what will be considered private and not private as the years go on.
CONCLUSION
Rory Shelton
ICE's change from a regular law enforcement agency to a $75 billion tech giant is a big change in the way privacy and due process work in the US. This article has shown that the "surveillance shopping spree" paid for by taxpayers has made it so that your utility bills, social media interactions, and even your physical movements are no longer private. Instead, they are assets that can be bought and sold. ICE has built a digital dragnet that works mostly in the shadows, far beyond the reach of traditional government oversight, by combining military-grade AI like Palantir's Gotham with invasive tools like Paragon and B12 eye-scanners. Our survey of Ohio University students shows that people are becoming more aware and worried: technology is moving faster than ever, but our constitutional rights, especially the Fourth Amendment, are being left behind. We don't just live in a physical world anymore, we live in a searchable database where you can buy authorized access instead of getting it through a warrant.
The most dangerous aspect of our enforcement system is the belief that it is unstoppable. To protect your digital footprint and advocate for a more transparent future, it is vital that you practice data minimization. In addition to practicing good digital habits for yourself, you should support legislation such
as the "Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act" and oversight through supporting groups that contest the confidentiality of ICE's proprietary software such as the American Civil Liberties Union and Electronic Frontier Foundation. Being the future leaders in businesses and tech innovation, you have an obligation to promote “Privacy by Design” to ensure that technology created going forward will not be used to violate human rights but protect them. Even if we are living in the age of invisibility, its longevity cannot be guaranteed; we must assert our rights to privacy constitutionally and sacramentally.
