In a redacted acquisition document obtained by the tech news site 404 Media, the immigration agency proposes entering into a contract to buy “all-in-one” tools from a company called PenLink that will allow agents to “compile, process, and validate billions of daily location signals from hundreds of millions of mobile devices.” The document also mentions payments for services involving “face detection,” “advanced face search,” and a “dark web data feed.”

    1. This administration doesn’t give a fuck about court precedence
    2. They are buying the data, not getting court orders for it. It’s the loophole around due process

    This data shouldn’t even be sold by mobile carriers in the first place, but capitalism greed must steamroll along.
