There is no justification for using surveillance tech in places of learning.

Local police aid ICE by tapping school cameras amid Trump’s immigration crackdown Local police assisted federal immigration agents by repeatedly searching school cameras that record license plate numbers, data show

Police departments across the U.S are tapping into school district security cameras & sharing the information with DHS.

Surveillance equipment in schools was never a project to keep children safe; this tech is used to regulate, control, seperate and intimidate immigrant families.

Cops Are Buying ‘GeoSpy’, an AI That Geolocates Photos in Seconds 404 Media has obtained a cache of internal police emails showing at least two agencies have bought access to GeoSpy, an AI tool that analyzes architecture, soil, and other features to near instantly g...

As if police departments haven't already spent millions of dollars on spying gear...

GeoSpy... yes SPY.... uses AI to locate where a photo was taken to track down people. Mind you, this tool is still in its testing phase and is still being purchased. Talk about a waste of money on sketchy tech. 😵‍💫

What to know about Tom Homan, Trump's border czar, as he heads to Minneapolis President Donald Trump has announced that his border czar, Tom Homan, will visit Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of an ICU nurse.

"Homan was accused of accepting the cash during a 2024 encounter with agents posing as businesspeople seeking government contracts that Homan suggested he could help them get in a second Trump term."

Countless reports show how ICE detention centers are inhumane cages where the officers commit the most horrible abuses.

They must all shut down.

Families protest 5-year-old boy held at Texas facility separated from detained father Dozens of immigrant families protested Saturday behind the fences of a Texas detention facility where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent this week after being detained in Minnesota.

Detained immigrants inside the ICE South Texas Family Residential Center protested for the release of detained children.

Children do not belong in detention centers.

People do not belong in detention centers.

This is the scariest f---ing thing. WTF.

‘ELITE’: The Palantir App ICE Uses to Find Neighborhoods to Raid Internal ICE material and testimony from an official obtained by 404 Media provides the clearest link yet between the technological infrastructure Palantir is building for ICE and the agency’s activit...

Palantir continues to profit off ICE's campaign of terror in our cities. Here is how:

“These records give us behind-the-scenes insight into the kind of mass surveillance machine ICE is building with help from powerful tech companies like Palantir..."

The FBI Wants AI Surveillance Drones With Facial Recognition An FBI procurement document inquires about AI surveillance on drones, raising concerns about a crackdown on protests.

This federal admin & Congress aren’t capable of making decent public interest policy on AI. They are lawless & careless. They will deliver a regulatory landscape that only helps billionaires who can bribe a President.

What do you think these drones are going to be used for? Political repression? 🤔

The Trump admin is using companies like Palantir to come up with reasons to criminalize and kill the poor while letting the wealthy off the hook.

SBA turns to Palantir after Minnesota fraud allegations spark national probe The $300,000 contract comes amid the Trump administration’s push to root out alleged fraud in Minnesota and eventually across the U.S.

So let's get this clear, the reason why ICE is terrorizing communities in Minnesota is because of alleged loan fraud??? Meanwhile, Trump pardoned Trevor Milton, the founder & former executive chairman of Nikola, who no longer has to pay hundreds of millions in financial penalties.

The intentions of this sham investigation are clear: let's label Renee Good as domestic terrorist so we can mass label all ICE observation or rapid responder activities as domestic terrorism. This is retaliation at its finest

F.B.I. Inquiry Into ICE Shooting Is Examining Victim’s Possible Ties to Activist Groups

All eyes on Minnesota. Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a memo that greatly expanded the definition of domestic terrorism while launching an investigation into Renee Good and her family.

We are saddened at the news of this tragedy. We send our condolences the family of Renee Nicole Good.

Frictions over investigations emerge after ICE agent fatally shoots Minneapolis woman Minnesota officials launch their own effort to collect evidence in the killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent. The move comes after shootings involving federal agents in Minneapolis and Portland, Ore.

ICE shot and wounded 2 people in Portland.

As long as ICE is in our streets, the violence of our loved ones will continue‼️

LETS GET ICE OFF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS NOW 📢

We offer our deepest condolences for this unnecessary loss of life. We send our support, care, & respect to ICE watch responders who are caring for our communities

ICE officer fatally shoots woman during Minneapolis operation A shooting involving an ICE officer took place in a Minneapolis neighborhood amid increased enforcement operations, Mayor Jacob Frey said.

An ICE agent shot & killed an ICE rapid responder/observer today in Minneapolis. We categorically reject this admin’s false & cowardly story that ignores their responsibility in this killing.

Palantir CEO Says Making War Crimes Constitutional Would Be Good for Business Alex Karp vows to use his

When a person thinks war crimes should be constitutional, do you think it makes any sense that they would have any reasonable influence on defense & immigration policy?

We know what these products will be used for: surveilling & harassing critics of the administration and ICE's military tactics

Two Weeks of Surveillance Footage From ICE Detention Center ‘Irretrievably Destroyed’ "Defendants have indicated that some video between October 19, 2025 and October 31, 2025 has been irretrievably destroyed and therefore cannot be produced on an expedited basis or at all."

Chicago community members & lawyers requested surveillance footage from the ICE facility to prove the inhumane conditions of those detained. DHS destroyed two weeks of that footage‼️

Will surveillance technologies ever keep us safe when law enforcement is the only agency that has the keys to it? 🤔

ICE Spent 600% More on Weapons. What They Bought Will Terrify You. Donald Trump is arming his masked immigration agents to the teeth.

Trump has increased weapons spending by 600% for ICE. YES, 600%

This is how Trump is strengthening his private army while eliminating programs like SNAP.

As for the destabilization and harm to low-income communities of color, well...that's just a side benefit for this administration.
