ICE tracks Minneapolis protesters through social media and online activity reports

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been using various methods to track individuals, including protesters in Minneapolis. According to reports, ICE agents have been filming protesters and immigrants using facial recognition technology.

The agency has also been utilizing online tools to identify suspects and monitor social media activity. In some cases, ICE has used face scans to verify the identity of individuals.

A recent investigation by The New York Times found that ICE had identified Minneapolis protesters through a combination of online searches and social media monitoring. AP News reported that masked agents were present at protests, and The Washington Post revealed that ICE had expanded its mass surveillance efforts.

Online activists have been fighting back against these efforts, using tactics such as encryption and secure communication channels to evade detection. Democracy Now! reported on the use of facial recognition technology by ICE agents in Minnesota.

The exact extent of ICE’s surveillance activities is unclear, but reports suggest that the agency has been using a range of tools to track individuals. The use of facial recognition technology and online monitoring has raised concerns about civil liberties and the potential for abuse.

ICE has not commented on the specifics of its surveillance efforts, but the agency has acknowledged the use of facial recognition technology in certain contexts.
