"Law enforcement authorities in the United States have for years circumvented the US Constitution's Fourth Amendment by purchasing data on US residents that would otherwise need to be obtained by a warrant. Today, Immigration and Customs Enforcement apparently thinks it can ignore long-standing constitutional protection by warrantlessly breaking down doors to arrest people, according to a recent whistleblower complaint- despite recent federal rulings that doing so violates the Fourth Amendment."
"Such is the news coming out of Minneapolis this week, where protesters and the federal government continued their standoff-even as ICE plans to build out a deportation network spanning Minnesota and four other states. And despite the Department of Homeland Security's claims that merely naming an ICE agent publicly is akin to "doxing," a WIRED review of LinkedIn found that agents are frequently doxing themselves."
"In non-immigration news, a researcher recently discovered an unsecured database containing 149 million login credentials. The usernames and passwords appear linked to accounts for everything from Gmail, Facebook, and Apple to government systems around the world. The researcher who found the database, Jeremiah Fowler, believes the stolen logins were collected by infostealing malware. The database, which was accessible to anyone on the internet, has since been taken offline."
Law enforcement agencies have purchased data on US residents to bypass Fourth Amendment warrant requirements. ICE reportedly conducts warrantless forced entries for arrests despite federal rulings prohibiting such practices and a whistleblower complaint alleging those actions. ICE plans to expand a deportation network across Minnesota and four other states while DHS treats naming agents as doxxing even though agents post personal information online. Surveillance and enforcement activities reduce public willingness to seek medical care. Customs and Border Protection sought a quantum sensor linked to an AI database to detect fentanyl. A researcher found an unsecured database of 149 million credentials that was subsequently taken offline.
