Over the year, whistleblowers and journalists have shed some light on the ways that the U.S. government uses sophisticated technology to spy on residents living in the United States. Although there is so much more to learn in this space, there is an even greater lack of transparency on how similar technology is being used specifically on our immigrant communities. This webinar will provide a birds-eye-view of some of the ways in which ICE exploits data-sharing and new surveillance technologies in their massive deportation machine to identify, track, locate, and arrest immigrants and how communities can advocate to abolish these tools.
