Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, October 18, 2025

ICE has been rapidly building out its surveillance capabilities in recent weeks, signing a string of contracts for technologies to identify individuals by their irises or facial features and to monitor their cellphone activity, social media posts and physical movements. The blitz of surveillance purchases is motivated in large part by ICE's intensive, nationwide campaign to find and deport undocumented immigrants. But documents show that some of the technology may also be used to target what the junta regards as anti-ICE extremist groups. Late last month, Dummkopf Trumpf declared "Antifa" a domestic terrorist organization. Technologies purchased by ICE in recent weeks include an iris-scanning app that agents plan to use in the field, Israeli spyware that can hack into smartphones remotely, and cellphone location software that can enable the tracking of a phone's movements without a court warrant.

Through the GSA, ICE has been buying facilities nationwide for the massive army of Sturmabteilung the junta is recruiting. The ability to investigate and detain people without a warrant makes ICE more powerful than the FBI. Moreover, these powerful technologies will also lead to American citizens getting caught up in warrantless ICE dragnets as intercepting and tracking the Smartphones of migrants will inadvertently lead to US citizens who are passport vendors, smugglers, illegal firearms dealers, "coyotes," or drug dealers. These ICE agents would either detain the US suspects or alert their colleagues at DEA, ATF, DSS, etc, who would then seek arrest warrants from a local federal magistrate. ICE could also inform local police departments to investigate the suspects they learn about, who would then seek the arrest warrants from local judges.
