How are National Security Tools being Used for Deportation?
Since the election, Donald Trump began his campaign to deport millions of undocumented immigrants. He used racist rhetoric to target our communities. Over the course of his Presidency, there has been a sharp increase in immigration arrests.
In March, ICE agents and the FBI used a stingray, an extremely invasive breach of privacy, to track Rudy Carmaco-Carranza, a 23 year old immigrant from El Salvador. A stingray, also known as a cell-site simulator tricks nearby phones into providing location data and can interrupt cell service.
