The ICE contractor, a defense firm called Edge Ops, promotes 'Project SAFE HAVEN' as an AI system to "map illegal migrants" and "identify, locate, and map both illegal migrants and the criminals who have crossed into the U.S. over the past several years" based on "years" of "non-traditional" data.
ICE entered into another 1-year $12.2m contract for a system that looks a lot like surveillance tech based on advertising/app data, according to public records reported by The Lever.
The system/program, called 'SAFE HAVEN', aims to track, locate and profile migrants and 'extremists', among others.

Mein Eindruck als politisch interessierter/aktiver Polizeibeamter mit nun gut 28 Jahren Berufserfahrung:
Wirklich ehrliche und gleichsam am Wohl der Beschäftigten sowie der Allgemeinheit interessierte Spitzengewerkschafter sind absolut selten, narzisstische Scharlatane die Regel.
Die Regierung will Hass im Netz stärker bekämpfen - und streicht der Opferschutzstelle Zara die Förderungen. Sie muss alle Mitarbeiter:innen kündigen und nimmt ab heute keine neuen Fälle mehr an, berichtet @muzayen.bsky.social

Congress is about to vote on renewing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Originally meant to monitor foreigners overseas, it’s been abused to surveil Americans. This is a chance to finally protect Americans’ privacy. bit.ly/4tASUmW

Opening text of a thread by Palantir from X Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.
Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different.
