3.3 Million US Citizens' Data Collected for 'Massive Genetic Database for Policing'

A Georgetown policy center warns that DHS, ICE tactics over multiple administrations is putting Americans' privacy at risk.

New research by the Center on Privacy & Technology at Georgetown Law found that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has collected the DNA of more than 3.3 million people, with the program’s “primary purpose” not revolving around immigration enforcement but to “build a national DNA database for solving crimes.”

Documents show federal surveillance operation in Minnesota targeted progressive groups, unions

Federal agents launched a sweeping undercover surveillance operation earlier this year targeting progressive organizations, labor unions and other groups protesting the immigration crackdown then raging through Minneapolis, according to court documents filed Thursday.

The program, dubbed Operation Puppet Master, was aimed at what officials called a network of conspirators helping “violent opportunists and agitators.” The documents were filed in a case involving 15 people charged by federal prosecutors in June with impeding the crackdown, accusing them of conspiring against the federal government through a range of actions, from throwing ice chunks to setting up blockades.

Geo Aurora tomorrow 8.13.26

We will be out at Peoria and 30th at the intersection. We’re also collecting diapers for the friends of Hudson diaper drive benefiting Weld United Way. Erin will be popping up at the library as well!

It is a peaceful protest. We wave signs and dance. We pass out literature and try to get the community involved. This building sits right across the street from apartments. Hidden in plain sight. A concentration camp at a busy intersection you have probably driven through.

Come join us!

Homeland Security Paid $464 Million for Airplanes. Then It Parked Them.

That was an enormous price tag, but the department said it had no time to consider other offers. The planes were needed urgently for deportation flights.

But since then, the department has barely used this new fleet — for deportations, or anything else.

Three of the aircraft are luxury business jets. Just months after acquiring them, the department sought to loan or lease two to other agencies, including one for the use of F.B.I. director Kash Patel, according to a letter to the department sent Wednesday by top Democrats on the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Glenwood Springs City Council votes to sue ICE hold room landlord in CO state court.

Hey friends. Earlier this year, it was exposed that ICE is operating 9 “hold rooms” in Colorado. These are holding cells in ICE sub offices that are only meant to detain people up to 12 hours. For that reason, they are omitted from ICE’s public detention reporting.

Further evidence from ICE detention booking datasets acquired by FOIA shows that ICE is frequently detaining people in Colorado’s hold rooms for greater than 12 hours, in violation of the DHS National Detention Standards.

Each hold room that is operating in Colorado is on privately owned land, in a private building and none are zoned and permitted properly for carceral detention. ICE leases these properties and operates them illegally outside of local ordinances.

A few months ago, the City of Glenwood Springs revoked the special use permit from ICE’s hold room there, which had been granted by the city for temporary (under 12 hour) usage, in line with the DHS National Detention Standards. ICE has continued to operate despite being informed by the city that their usage of the property is in violation of municipal ordinance.

Last night the City of Glenwood Springs voted to sue the owner of the property in Colorado state court over their tenant’s land use violation.

This is part of a wider strategy to encourage local governments to enforce their zoning laws against private land owners profiting from ICE detention and hiding behind fear mongering that they are untouchable.
