This likely violates both the Privacy Act and the Freedom of Information Act, and looks like yet another example of the administration weaponizing the federal government against its political enemies. This is incredibly dangerous. cbsnews.com/news/national-…
Our piece on this from all the way back in 2018 is, unfortunately, still relevant: pogo.org/analysis/these…
POGO's @DonBellCT joined @BorderReportcom to talk about a dangerous new development in surveillance: AI being used to track migrants. Watch the conversation here: borderreport.com/hot-topics/bor…
BIG NEWS! #BadWatchdog is a finalist for the @signalawards Best Podcast in News and Politics. We're so proud of the work of @MarenMachles and the whole #BadWatchdog team. P.S. If you want to check out the podcast, tune in on your favorite app: pogo.org/podcasts/bad-w…
This is yet another invasive use of dangerous surveillance technology by law enforcement. It's essential that Congress conduct appropriate oversight to ensure that these drones aren't stifling your right to free speech and privacy. 404media.co/cbp-flew-drone…
It's long past time to close the data broker loophole. 404media.co/airlines-sell-…
BIG WIN: A federal court restricts the IRS from continuing to share massive amounts of taxpayer data with ICE. This is a victory for taxpayers’ privacy.
"The contract, signed last week, is worth $9.2 million, which is Clearview’s biggest award from any government department to date. Its second biggest was another ICE contract signed in 2021, worth $2.3 million." forbes.com/sites/thomasbr…
Another example of how easily a supposed local system can be commandeered for national purposes. 404media.co/cbp-had-access…
This is an unprecedented attempt by the administration to obtain the medical information of patients. At the end of last year, our @DonBellCT wrote about the consequences of surveillance on vulnerable people seeking medical care: bit.ly/4mSoSYn

There’s a lot of problems with the admin taking over the DC police force & planning to send the National Guard into the city. This article points out a big one: the powerful & unnecessary new surveillance powers the gov't will have over the city’s citizens.defenseone.com/threats/2025/0…
It turns out the IRS Commissioner was ousted shortly after the agency denied DHS the private information of tens of thousands of taxpayers. For more on why other agencies accessing people’s private data is so dangerous, read @DonBellCT’s latest: bit.ly/4fzYSPd

Timely piece after the recent @washingtonpost report on the continued White House clashes with the IRS on sharing taxpayer data. pogo.org/analysis/ice-a…
As we've written, surveillance often doesn't stop with its originally targeted group. When the government is empowered to target any group we are all at risk.

Time and time again the administration has shown that it will blow through any protections to conduct mass surveillance on migrants. Data privacy protections are there for a reason: the gov’t isn’t supposed to be able to use our info for unintended purposes. Yet, here we are.

While this ruling takes no clear position on the constitutionality of the admin's birthright citizenship EO, it's still dangerous. Limiting ways people can be protected from authoritarianism facilitates the very trampling of the Constitution #SCOTUS has a duty to stop.

This is an alarming report...which shows how quickly the use of surveillance technology in one space can become standard operating procedure in another. 404media.co/ice-is-using-a…
🚨 The DOJ suing every federal judge in Maryland isn’t just unprecedented — it’s an attack on the independence of the courts. This isn’t about process. It’s about punishing judges for rulings the administration doesn’t like. That’s authoritarianism 101. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/…
