Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to a company that makes “AI agents” to rapidly track down targets. The company claims the “skip tracing” AI agents help agencies find people of interest and map out their family and other associates more quickly. According to the procurement records, the company’s services were specifically for Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), the part of ICE that identifies, arrests, and deports people.
The contract comes as ICE is spending millions of dollars, and plans to spend tens of millions more, on skip tracing services more broadly. The practice involves ICE paying bounty hunters to use digital tools and physically stalk immigrants to verify their addresses, then report that information to ICE so the agency can act.

Yeah history most certainly going to look favorably back upon the time when the USA spent tens of millions to terrorize its own citizens and working class in the name of hostile ethnic cleansing. Sure it might sound harsh when we are doing it, but give it a few years and when everyone is rich and safe and happy here because of this, it will all make perfect sense retrospectively. If you don’t get it, you’re just not a 3D chess player I guess, amiright?
