The surveillance state has arrived in a big way and it’s not just coming for migrants; it’s coming for you. Anyone who’s not concerned  lacks imagination.

“ Technologies purchased by ICE in recent weeks include an iris-scanning app that agents plan to use in the field, spyware that can hack into smartphones remotely and cellphone location software that can enable the tracking of a phone’s movements without a court warrant.”

“But Democratic lawmakers, civil rights watchdogs and former officials have expressed concern that ICE now has a green light not only to monitor immigrant communities, but also to carry out broad surveillance of Americans exercising their First Amendment right to oppose government action.”

The fear is that the technology will be used to go after “antifa” and left wing organizations (that is, anyone who opposes the Trump administration):

“Left-wing organizations have fueled violent riots, organized attacks against law enforcement officers, coordinated illegal doxing campaigns, arranged drop points for weapons and riot materials, and more,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement Thursday.

Isn't this similar to what the Biden administration did around Jsix?

Oh well, guess you didn't see that coming. [/quote]

Biden was not president during J6. [/quote]

Good grief, he used it for the largest manhunt the FBI has ever done when he got into office. SMH[/quote]
