In a redacted acquisition document obtained by the tech news site 404 Media, the immigration agency proposes entering into a contract to buy “all-in-one” tools from a company called PenLink that will allow agents to “compile, process, and validate billions of daily location signals from hundreds of millions of mobile devices.” The document also mentions payments for services involving “face detection,” “advanced face search,” and a “dark web data feed.”

If a law enforcement officer wants to put a gps tracker on someone's vehicle, he has to give probable cause and convince a judge to sign off on it. But suddenly we are giving all law enforcement the power to track every single person at all times, carte blanche, no probablu cause, no judge's sign off, no nothing needed. Make it make sense.
