"ICE Director's Shocking Admission: Agency Spying on Protesters? In a bombshell revelation, a recently disclosed letter to Congress has shed light on the inner workings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The agency's former head has confirmed that ICE collects data on individuals suspected of engaging in potentially unlawful activity, casting a wide net that could potentially ensnare peaceful protesters. The move has sparked widespread concern about the erosion of civil liberties and the chilling effect on free speech, as critics warn that the agency's surveillance tactics could be used to intimidate and silence dissenting voices."


In a previously unpublicized letter to Congress, the newly-departed head of ICE said the agency collects data on people suspected of potentially unlawful activity, which could include protesters.
