The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency is significantly increasing its spending on both surveillance technology and weaponry, prompting concerns over civil liberties and the targeting of specific groups. Reports indicate that expenditures on weapons have surged by 700%, which includes the acquisition of advanced surveillance systems aimed at monitoring social media and tracking immigrants. Critics argue that these developments reflect a broader trend of militarization and aggressive surveillance practices by ICE, fueled by substantial funding sources connected to recent financial windfalls. Additionally, there are claims that ICE is using this increased budget to support a nationwide surveillance campaign, raising alarms about potential violations of privacy rights and constitutional concerns.
