US intelligence agencies see threats in the increasing use of homebrew, digital tools to track Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests and raids in real-time, according to restricted government documents seen by nonprofit watchdog group Property of the People.
The documents show that analysts are particularly concerned about websites that allow interactive mapping of ICE raids and the posting of threatening content on social media sites such as Reddit, TikTok and X.
The issue of tracking ICE activities has also prompted law enforcement to sound alarm over “implausible, hypothetical risks” allegedly posed by such maps, despite protestations from transparency campaigners that transparency is not terrorism.
Domestic intelligence centres have also obtained details about Saturday’s “No Kings” protests, specifically in California, and there are concerns that such conjecture could lead to a breach in national security.
