ICE Planning $100M 'Nightmare' Domestic Spy Program
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
ICE plans a $100 million domestic spy program called ERO ONE to analyze relationships and communications.
The article reports that ICE is planning a $100 million domestic surveillance program, ERO ONE, that will analyze classified and nonclassified information to produce network, link, and relationship analyses. Commenters note that this raises concerns about tracking interpersonal relationships without probable cause, especially given ICE's history of arresting and deporting U.S. citizens on false immigration charges.
What commenters are saying
Commenters overwhelmingly condemn the program as an escalation of post-9/11 surveillance, arguing it violates constitutional protections. Two camps emerge: those who see it as a bipartisan failure (citing expansions under Obama and Biden) and those who emphasize the current administration's unique severity, including flouting court orders and deporting citizens. Some note that naturalized citizens can lose citizenship for fraud, but stress that due process is being ignored.
