flag ICE spent $1.4 billion in September 2025 on advanced surveillance to track immigration violators and protest networks, sparking privacy and civil rights concerns.

flag In October 2025, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) expanded its domestic surveillance using advanced technologies including facial recognition, mobile iris scanning, and spyware to access encrypted apps, spending $1.4 billion in September—the highest monthly amount in at least 18 years. flag Contracts with Clearview AI and companies like Penlink and Weblocs enabled monitoring of social media, dark-web forums, and real-time cellphone locations. flag The effort follows President Trump’s designation of antifa as a domestic terror threat and targets immigration violators and protest networks. flag While ICE says the shift supports national security, civil liberties advocates warn it raises concerns about privacy, Fourth and First Amendment rights, and lack of oversight, especially given no federal definition of antifa and unclear warrant requirements.
