#ICE has been rapidly building out its #surveillance capabilities in recent weeks, signing a string of contracts for technologies to identify individuals by their irises or facial features & to monitor their cellphone activity, social media posts & physical movements, according to a review of federal spending disclosures.

The blitz of #surveillance purchases is motivated in large part by ICE’s intensive, nationwide campaign to find & deport undocumented #immigrants. But documents show that some of the #technology may also be used to target what the admin regards as anti-ICE extremist groups. Late last month, #Trump declared “#Antifa” a domestic #terrorist organization in the wake of a few violent clashes & a Dallas shooting at an #ICE facility.
