ICE Can Now Track Every Phone Near You
ICE can now draw a digital line around your neighborhood and see the location of every phone inside it.
As thousands of federal agents deploy to cities like Minneapolis, an exclusive report from 404 Media reveals the surveillance tool they're using to hunt people down.
It's called a Webloc.
Here's how it works:
An agent draws a shape on a digital map.
A city block, a workplace, or a protest site.
The system instantly pulls up the history of every mobile phone that's been inside that shape.
It shows where you sleep, where you work, and who you spend time with.
It creates a āpattern of lifeā analysis to predict your next move.
They don't need a warrant. They don't need a subpoena. They just buy the data from apps installed on your phone right now.
Yesterday, an ICE agent shot and killed a US citizen in Minneapolis during an operation.
Today, we know they have the technology to watch the entire city without leaving their desk.
