ICE Planning $100M 'Nightmare' Domestic Spy Program

Immigration and Customs Enforcement is fast-tracking a $100 million domestic surveillance program called ERO ONE that would deploy 142 intelligence agents across more than two dozen cities to analyze classified and unclassified information to identify "trends, patterns, relationships, threats, and intelligence gaps." Surveillance experts warn the program represents a dangerous expansion of ICE's surveillance capabilities that could be weaponized against not only undocumented immigrants but political opponents and the general public, as agents would conduct network analysis on targets and everyone connected to them.
